Key result
CABG surgery significantly improved functional status at 18 months compared to baseline, particularly in physical functioning (p<0.001) and mental health (p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does CABG surgery improve health-related quality of life and functional capacity in patients undergoing the procedure?
Observational (n=187)

p-value: p=<0.001
CABG surgery significantly improves physical and mental functional status and NYHA class at 18 months, though functional status remains worse than the general population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Observed functional gains post-CABG support further investigation; leaves open randomized comparison to medical therapy.
D et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) (n=187). CABG surgery vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Change in physical functioning and mental health scores (SF-36) and functional capacity (NYHA class) (p=<0.001). CABG surgery significantly improved functional status at 18 months compared to baseline, particularly in physical functioning (p<0.001) and mental health (p<0.001).
