This study examines sex and race differences in long-term survival after AMI using life expectancy and YPLL to account for differences in population-based life expectancy. Investigators used the Cooperative Cardiovascular Project, a prospective cohort study of Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized for AMI between 1994 and 1995 (N = 146,743).
Investigators found that the life expectancy estimates after myocardial infarction were similar for men and women of the same race but lower for black patients than white patients.
