Why the study?
Does a nurse-led programme of support and lifestyle management reduce risk factors and healthcare utilization in patients awaiting coronary artery bypass surgery?
Does a nurse-led programme of support and lifestyle management reduce risk factors and healthcare utilization in patients awaiting coronary artery bypass surgery?
A preoperative nurse-led lifestyle management program for patients awaiting CABG may not reduce clinical risk factors but could decrease overall healthcare utilization.
May reduce healthcare utilization without affecting preoperative risk factors in CABG patients; leaves open whether implementation is warranted pending randomized confirmation.
The nurse-led programme did not appear to reduce risk factors prior to coronary artery bypass surgery. However, the intervention appears to reduce overall healthcare utilization.
