Men served as the control group, while women comprised the study cohort. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included odds of cardiac arrest, ventricular tachycardia, heart failure, mechanical ventilation use, all\u2010cause 30\u2010day readmission, total and early pacemaker use, length of stay (LOS), and total hospitalization charges (THC).

Female sex was associated with higher odds of mortality (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.42, 95% CI 1.3\u20131.55) compared to males. Additionally, females had higher odds of cardiac arrest (aOR 1.13, 95% CI 1.06\u20131.2), ventricular tachycardia (aOR 1.1, 95% CI 1.05\u20131.17), heart failure (aOR 1.18, 95% CI 1.14\u20131.22), mechanical ventilation use (aOR 1.1, 95% CI 1.03\u20131.17), and all\u2010cause 30\u2010day readmission (aOR 1.1, 95% CI 1.03\u20131.14). Women also had lower odds of total pacemaker use (aOR 0.92, 95% CI 0.88\u20130.96) and early pacemaker use (aOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86\u20130.82).
