Key result
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was associated with an initial increase in mean fatigue scores from 3.71 preoperatively to 5.15 at 2-4 days postoperatively, which then significantly decreased to 0.03 at two months (p<0.01).

How does coronary artery bypass graft surgery affect patient-reported fatigue levels in the preoperative and postoperative periods?
CABG surgery transiently increases fatigue in the immediate postoperative period, but leads to near-complete resolution of fatigue by two months post-surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Fatigue may transiently rise then resolve after CABG; leaves open causality and generalizability beyond this observational cohort.

Kaya et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Coronary Artery Disease undergoing CABG (n=32). Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Piper Fatigue Scale score at postoperative days 2-4 (p=<0.01). Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was associated with an initial increase in mean fatigue scores from 3.71 preoperatively to 5.15 at 2-4 days postoperatively, which then significantly decreased to 0.03 at two months (p<0.01).
