Severe preoperative angina, absence of hereditary load, male sex, and absence of diabetes are independent predictors of quality of life improvement 2 years after elective CABG.
Perić et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease requiring elective CABG (n=208). Preoperative serious angina vs. Absence of preoperative serious angina was evaluated on Improvement in quality of life (pain section) at 2 years (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.57-3.77, p=<0.001). Preoperative serious angina was a strong independent predictor of quality of life improvement in the pain section 2 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (OR 2.43).
