Overview

May reflect improved post-CABG risk factor management over time; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Does contemporary medical management (1990 vs 1986) improve coronary risk factor control in patients 6-12 months after coronary artery bypass surgery?

P
Population
Patients evaluated 6 to 12 months after coronary artery bypass surgery (n=100 in the 1990 cohort, compared to a 1986 cohort from the same surgical unit).
I
Intervention
Medical management and risk factor modification in 1990
C
Comparator
Medical management and risk factor modification in 1986
O
Outcome
Proportion of patients with hypercholesterolaemia (cholesterol ≥ 6.5 mmol/L) and diastolic hypertension (diastolic pressure ≥ 95 mmHg)surrogate

Management of coronary risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia significantly improved from 1986 to 1990 in post-CABG patients.
