Biological Sex Differences in the US-CTEPH-R

Key Points

The study aims to explore how biological sex influences CTEPH (Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension) phenotypes and associated health outcomes.
Examined sex differences in CTEPH phenotypes
Analyzed health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessments
Explored access to and feasibility of pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) interventions.
Identified distinct phenotypes associated with males and females
Found significant disparities in HRQoL based on sex
Highlighted the need for tailored interventions to improve outcomes.

Abstract

Males and females may have distinct CTEPH phenotypes which impact access to and feasibility of PTE. There are sex-associated disparities in the experience of CTEPH as a disease state, and differential impacts on HRQoL that warrant further investigation.
