Key result
Age, type of PCI, diabetes, blood pressure, education level, and income were the most important factors significantly associated with health-related quality of life in patients at least 6 months post-coronary angioplasty.

Age, type of PCI, diabetes, blood pressure, level of education, and income are significant factors affecting the health-related quality of life in patients at least six months post-coronary angioplasty.
Background: The quality of life of patients after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is definitely not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) and related factors in patients undergoing angioplasty. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on patients with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI and had a history of hospitalization in Zanjan, Iran in 2020. 920 patients based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were included by census method.The study tool was a 36-item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire)SF-36). Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to data analysis in SPSS 19 with a significance level of 5%. Results: In total, 70%(644people) were female, 86% (791) angina, 34.2% (315) Myocardial infarction. median (IQR) of age, Physical Component Summary(PCS), and Mental component summary (MCS) were 60 (15), 65.78(9.48), 64.18 (7.68), respectively. Multivariate linear regression showed that PCI type (B=-2.52, p=0.013) and age (B= -0.21,p<0.001) had a negative effect and education level(B=3.15, p=0.002), income(B=1.34, p=0.002), angina(B=1.27, p=0.02) and number of drugs(B=0.609, p<0.001) had a positive effect on PCS. Also, PCI type (B=-3.024, p=0.001), age(B=-0.123, p<0.001), diabetes(B=-1.19, p=0.008), blood pressure(B=-0.728, p=0.05) and duration of disease(B=-0.309, p=0.022) had a negative effect and education, income(B=2.57, p=0.022), number of drugs(B=0.615, p<0.001) had a positive effect on MCS. Conclusion: Age, type of PCI, diabetes, blood pressure, level of education, income were the most important factors related to HRQL of cardiovascular patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Therefore, to improve the HLQL, these factors must be considered.

Jamshidi et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=920). Sociodemographic and clinical factors was evaluated on Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores on the SF-36. Age, type of PCI, diabetes, blood pressure, education level, and income were the most important factors significantly associated with health-related quality of life in patients at least 6 months post-coronary angioplasty.
