Why the study?

Does declining health-related quality of life at 6 months predict later major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery?

Population

404 consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between 2008 and 2010

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

38.6 months (range 10-58)

Overview

May flag higher post-CABG MACCE risk via 6-month QoL scores; leaves open whether targeting QoL alters events.

Structured PICO

Does declining health-related quality of life at 6 months predict later major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery?

P
Population
404 consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between 2008 and 2010
O
Outcome
Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after 6 monthscomposite

Declining health-related quality of life and function scores at 6 months after CABG independently predict subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events.
