Key result
Diabetes was the only independent predictor of delayed recovery of 6-minute walk distance to preoperative values after coronary artery bypass grafting (OR 2.955).
Why the study?
The study investigated the days required for postoperative 6-minute walk distance to recover to preoperative values after CABG and the factors influencing this recovery.

Diabetes is an independent predictor of delayed recovery of exercise tolerance, as measured by the 6-minute walk distance, following coronary artery bypass grafting.
Diabetes may delay 6MWD recovery after CABG; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions in diabetic patients.
Background: This single-center retrospective analysis investigated the number of days required for postoperative 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) to recover to preoperative values after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the factors influencing this recovery.

Araki et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (n=101). Diabetes vs. Non-diabetes was evaluated on Non-early recovery of 6-minute walk distance to preoperative values (≥9 days or no recovery) (OR 2.955, 95% CI 1.208-7.229, p=0.02). Diabetes was the only independent predictor of delayed recovery of 6-minute walk distance to preoperative values after coronary artery bypass grafting (OR 2.955).
