Overview

EQ-5D and EQ-VAS show poor mortality discrimination after CABG; leaves open any adjunctive role in risk models pending validation.

Structured PICO

Does preoperative quality of life (EQ-5D and EQ-VAS) predict hospital and 30-day mortality in patients undergoing elective isolated CABG?

Population
2501 patients undergoing elective isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), mean age 65.3 ± 9.4 years, mean additive EuroSCORE 2.7 ± 2.1.

Intervention
Preoperative quality of life assessment using EQ-5D and EQ-VAS
O
Outcome
Hospital mortality and 30-day mortalityhard clinical

Preoperative quality of life scores (EQ-5D and EQ-VAS) have poor discriminative ability for predicting hospital or 30-day mortality after elective CABG and should not be used in isolation for surgical decision-making.
