Differential effect of female gender on @entity453 and XXXX .

@entity1 @entity101 @entity6 @entity3657 @entity453
BACKGROUND: @entity1 are relatively protected against @entity453 ( @entity453 ). Whether female gender has a similar protective influence on the development of @entity3657 ( @entity3657 ) has not been extensively investigated and was the main subject of our study. METHODS: We analysed 2707 consecutive @entity1 (2008 @entity1 and 699 @entity1 ) who underwent a first diagnostic coronary angiography for suspicion of @entity453 and 2367 consecutive @entity1 (1426 @entity1 and 941 @entity1 ) who underwent a first ankle arm index measurement because of suspicion of @entity3657 . RESULTS: We found that a positive diagnosis for @entity453 and @entity3657 was more common in @entity1 compared with @entity1 (80.7% vs 57.9%, p<0.0001 and 68.0% vs 60.7%, p<0.0001). Once @entity453 or @entity3657 was established, severity of disease was similar for @entity1 and @entity1 , which pleads against a referral bias. @entity1 had a reduced risk of @entity453 after adjustment for risk factors (odds ratio [OR] 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22-0.46, p<0.0001), but not of @entity3657 (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.66-1.03, p=NS). In @entity1 with @entity453 and in those with @entity3657 , @entity1 were older, more often had @entity6 and @entity101 , while @entity1 were more likely to be current smokers. @entity101 , smoking and @entity6 were associated with @entity453 in both @entity1 and @entity1 . Current smoking was associated with @entity3657 in @entity1 and @entity1 . @entity101 and @entity6 were associated with @entity3657 in @entity1 but not in @entity1 . CONCLUSION: After adjustment for risk factors, the female protection for @entity453 seems to less present for @entity3657 .
