"Although an invasive strategy is frequently used in patients with non - ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS), data from some trials suggest that this strategy may not benefit women. To conduct a meta- analysis of randomized trials to compare the effects of an invasive vs conservative strategy in women and men with NSTE ACS. Data Sources Trials were identified through a computerized literature search of the MEDLINE and Cochrane databases (1970- April 2008) using the search terms invasive strategy, conservative strategy, selective invasive strategy, acute coronary syndromes, non- ST- elevation myocardial infarction, and unstable angina.Randomized clinical trials comparing an invasive vs conservative treatment strategy in patients with NSTE ACS. Data Extraction The principal investigators for each trial provided the sex- specific incidences of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and rehospitalization with ACS through 12 months of follow- up. In NSTE ACS, an invasive strategy has a com"@en .
