After adjustment, females remained significantly less likely than males to receive multiarterial grafting. Multiarterial grafting was less common among females than males in unadjusted results. Women were significantly less likely than men to receive guideline-recommended statins. The prescribing gap was largest in single-drug and two-drug antihypertensive regimens.
