| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Women with acute coronary syndrome appear to be treated less aggressively than men. However, little is known about potential sex biases in the evaluation of patients with low-risk chest pain admitted to emergency department (ED) chest pain units. METHODS: This was a secondary analysis of prospectively collected data on consecutively admitted chest pain unit patients in a large-volume academic urban ED. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk prediction and Diamond and Forrestor (D&F) scores were calculated for each patient. χ(2) And t tests were used for univariate comparisons of demographics, cardiac comorbidities, risk scores, and stress testing between sexes. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) for testing based on sex, controlling for race, insurance status, and either TIMI or D&F score. RESULTS: Eight hundred eleven patients were enrolled (48% male, 52% female) in the study. The mean age for men was 52 ± 12 and 54 ± 12 years for women (P < .01). Men had a higher mean D&F score (42.0 vs 24.4; P < .01), but TIMI risk scores did not differ between sexes. Women received testing more often than men, a difference that was not statistically significant (50% [95% confidence interval {CI}, 45%-55%] vs 43% [95% CI, 39%-48%]; probability ratio of 1.16; P = .19). Women had a higher OR for receiving stress testing (1.61, 95% CI 1.14-2.29 controlling for TIMI score; OR, 1.69, 95% CI 1.12-2.51 controlling for D&F score). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates no association between physician discretionary uses of stress testing based on sex. There is a need for further research on patient- or provider-specific factors that determine stress use and on how differences may affect clinical outcomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
