Adjusted Odds Ratios Comparing Women Relative to Men in the Receipt of Noninvasive and Invasive Procedures During Hospitalization for Acute Myocardial Infarction Between 1990 and 1999: Worcester Heart Attack Study

	Multivariable Adjusted OR*	95% CI
Diagnostic procedure
Echocardiography	1.03	0.91 to 1.17
Exercise tolerance testing	0.65	0.55 to 0.76
Cardiac catheterization	0.72	0.62 to 0.83
Revascularization procedure
PCI	0.94	0.78 to 1.12
CABG	0.60	0.44 to 0.83

^*All analyses compare procedure utilization rates in women relative to men. The regression analyses controlled for differences in age (as a continuous variable), medical history, AMI order, AMI type, AMI location, development of acute clinical complications, length of stay, and in-hospital survival.

PCI, percutaneous coronary interventions; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting.
