Key result
~68% return to work one year post-CABG, with failure linked to age over 51 and manual labor.
Why the study?
Return to work after coronary bypass graft surgery and its predictive factors in professionally active patients under 60 years old were not well characterized.

Population
530 professionally active patients aged less than 60 years after coronary bypass graft surgery
Comparison
Patients who returned to work vs those who did not return to work
Design
Prospective multicentre cohort study
Follow-up

May inform return-to-work counseling after CABG; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve rates in older or manual-labor patients.

What factors predict return to work at one year after coronary bypass graft surgery in professionally active patients aged less than 60 years?
Odds Ratio: 0.39 (95% CI 0.25–0.59)
Return to work one year after CABG occurs in about two-thirds of patients and is negatively influenced by older age, manual labor, and residual symptoms like angina and dyspnea.
Sellier et al. (2003) conducted a cohort in Coronary bypass graft surgery (n=530). Age >51 years vs. Age ≤51 years was evaluated on Failure to return to work (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.59). One year after coronary bypass graft surgery, 67.5% of patients returned to work, with failure to return independently predicted by age >51 years (OR 0.39; 95% CI 0.25-0.59) and manual labor.
