Key result
Female patients had significantly lower 18-year survival (40.9%) compared to male patients (53.6%) following coronary artery bypass grafting.
Why the study?
The applicability of the SF36 questionnaire to disparate populations motivated its use to investigate how HRQoL after CABG relates to gender, age, and survival.
Does Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) improve health-related quality-of-life and survival in men and women?

Does Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) improve health-related quality-of-life and survival in men and women?
Absolute Event Rate: 40.9% vs 53.6%
p-value: p=0.0108
Following CABG, women have significantly lower long-term survival compared to men, and the relationship between HRQoL improvements and survival differs by gender.
Gender differences in post-CABG HRQoL are hypothesis-generating; leaves open survival and age interactions pending higher-level confirmation.
The applicability of the Short Form (SF36) questionnaire to disparate populations led us to use this tool to investigate how health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) for patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is related to gender, age and survival

Lindsay et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Coronary Heart Disease (n=210). Female gender vs. Male gender was evaluated on Long-term survival (18 years) (p=0.0108). Female patients had significantly lower 18-year survival (40.9%) compared to male patients (53.6%) following coronary artery bypass grafting.
