Body image before and after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: comparison and its contributing factors

Q: What are the key findings of this study?

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was associated with a significant improvement in patients' mean body image score from 139.60 before surgery to 160.25 one month after the procedure.

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Observational. Population: Coronary artery disease (n=140). Intervention: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery vs. Before surgery (baseline). Primary outcome: Body image score (MBSRQ) (MD 20.65, 95% CI 18.05-23.22, p=<0.001).

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery experience significant improvements in body image four weeks postoperatively. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Q: What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate changes in body image before and four weeks after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and identify factors influencing postoperative body image.

Key result

CABG is linked to a ~21-point improvement in body image scores at one month.

MD +20.65
95% CI 18.05-23.22
P<0.001
n=140

Why the study?

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is associated with significant physical and psychological problems, but body image before and after surgery and its contributing factors required investigation.

Does coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery improve body image in patients with coronary artery disease?

Key Points

To evaluate changes in body image before and four weeks after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and identify factors influencing postoperative body image.
Conducted a comparative study among 140 patients consecutively recruited prior to coronary artery bypass graft surgery at a hospital in Kashan, Iran.
Assessed body image preoperatively and at four weeks postoperatively using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire.
Analyzed score changes and associations using paired and independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression models.
Patients demonstrated poor baseline body image prior to coronary bypass surgery, which improved significantly four weeks postoperatively.
At four weeks post-surgery, multiple regression analysis revealed that none of the measured demographic or clinical variables were significant predictors of body image (P > 0.05).

Does coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery improve body image in patients with coronary artery disease?

P

Population

140 adult patients (mean age 55.7 years, 46.4% female) undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, assessed for body image before and 4 weeks after the procedure.

E

Exposure

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery

C

Comparator

Pre-operative baseline (within-subject comparison)

O

Outcome

Body image assessed using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire at 4 weeks post-surgerypatient reported

Main Result

Mean Difference: 20.65 (95% CI 18.05–23.22)

Absolute Event Rate: 160.25% vs 139.6%

p-value: p=<0.001

CABG surgery is associated with a significant improvement in patient-reported body image at 4 weeks post-operation.

Limitations

Conducted in a single hospital setting, limiting generalizability.
Study variables explained only 23% of the variance in body image before surgery, meaning other unassessed factors (e.g., mood, stress, social support) play a role.

Implication

May inform psychosocial counseling after CABG; leaves open causality and generalizability pending prospective studies.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
