Decreased activities of daily living at discharge predict mortality and readmission in elderly patients after cardiac and aortic surgery

Abstract: Recently, activities of daily living (ADL) were identified as a prognostic factor among elderly patients with heart disease; however, a specific association between ADL and prognosis after cardiac and aortic surgery is not well established. We aimed to clarify the impact of ADL capacity at discharge on prognosis in elderly patients after cardiac and aortic surgery.This retrospective cohort study included 171 elderly patients who underwent open operation for cardiovascular disease in a single center (median age… Show more

“…In some cases, patients may become bedridden or develop disuse syndrome. 6 They can easily develop decubitus ulcers and infections, including pneumonia and urinary tract infections. 15 In the present study, the 1-year survival rates in the SAVR and TAVR groups were 91.9% and 91.6%, respectively; the 2-year survival rates were 88.2% and 83.1%, respectively.…”

“…3,4 Furthermore, an inability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) at discharge predicts mortality or readmission in older patients with heart disease, 5 or after cardiothoracic surgery. 6 The Barthel Index (BI) is the global standard index for ADL. 7 Several reports have compared the BI as an index of ADL and postoperative outcomes after cardiovascular surgery.…”

“…Findings from previous studies also suggest that race, socioeconomic status, hospital length of stay, mobility status, activities of daily living performance, and number of acute care therapy visits are associated with readmissions. 5,34,35,[52][53][54][55][56] We did not include these variables in our investigation.…”
