Preoperative employment and blue-collar occupation are strong independent predictors of returning to work after coronary artery bypass in patients under 50, which is associated with significantly better quality of life.

Preoperative employment and blue-collar occupation vs. No preoperative employment and non-blue-collar occupation was evaluated on Return to work postoperatively.
