INT J CARDIOL , 2005, vol. 98, n° 3, p. 447-452 Doc n°: 118094 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : JF - QUALITE DE VIE , FA421 - CHIRURGIE DES CORONAIRES, FC2 - HYPERTENSION PULMONAIRE Objective: To identify determinants of an inferior quality of life (QoL) 10 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Setting: Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Goteborg, Sweden. Participants: All patients from Western Sweden who underwent CABG between 1988 and 1991 without simultaneous valve surgery and no previous CABG. Main outcome measures: Questionnaires for evaluating QoL 10 years after the operation. Three different instruments were used: The Nottingham health profile (NHP), the psychological general wellbeing index (PGWI), and the Physical Activity Score (PAS). Results: 2000 patients underwent CABG, of whom 633 died during 10 years of follow-up. Information on QoL at 10 years was available in 976 patients (71% of survivors). A history of diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the two independent predictors for an inferior QoL with all three instruments. Furthermore, there were three predictors of an inferior QoL with two of the instruments: high age, female sex and a history of hypertension. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
