Resumen
Gender differences when treating patients affected by cardiovascular diseases were firstly addressed some decades ago. The purpose of this cross-sectional retrospective study is to analyze whether being female or male increases the risk of urgent and unplanned hospital admission when suffering certain cardiovascular diseases in the Basque Autonomous Provinces (BAP). Between 2016 and 2018, women of the BAC showed a higher risk of unplanned hospital admissions when suffering angina pectoris, conduction disorders and cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, hypertensive diseases and atherosclerosis in comparison with men. Thus, we have found that patients’ sex influences the type of hospital admission and we highlight the need to decrease such gap through several approaches.
