Beyond the GRACE ACS Score: Do We Need a Different Model for Men and Women after STEMI?

Background: Women, in comparison to men, experience worse outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, whether the female sex per se is an independent predictor of such adverse events remains unclear.

Objective: This study aims to assess the association between the female sex and in-hospital mortality after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
