Background: Endoscopic mitral valve repair is a new technique, bringing many benefits to patients. The assessment of the quality of life in patients after mitral valve repair is partly reflected as a result of this technique. Methods: From 01/08/2022 to 31/12/2022, 106 patients after mitral valve repair who was eligible for the selection criteria were included in the study to assess the quality of life using the SF -36 score. Results: 106 patients with a mean age of 55.4 years, of which mainly men accounted for 63.2% and average BMI was 23.3 kg/m2. The average follow-up time after 6.9 months showed that the patient could completely return to work after 3.7 months. Overall quality of life characteristics were good with 88.9 points. In which the physical health scores are mostly over 90 points, and the mental health scores are mainly above 80 points. BMI > 25kg/m2, marital status and NYHA classifications are related to quality of life after endoscopic mitral valve repair, with statistical significance with p<0.05. Conclusion: The quality of life of patients after endoscopic mitral valve repair was good. Several factors were associated with quality of life such as BMI>25kg/m2, marital status and NYHA classifications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
