“…Their assessments of HRQoL have been largely based on the Medical Outcomes Study: 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire and researchers have conducted these assessments at different time points after first hospital admission due to CAD (7,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) . However, there are scarce studies using a retrospective approach that assess HRQoL during the first hospital admission, and the few studies available have focused on patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (10) Few Brazilian studies have been conducted on HRQoL in CAD patients (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) .…”

This study aimed to investigate health-related quality of life based on the four weeks antecedent to first admission for acute coronary syndrome and describe potential associations between quality of life, gender and prior treatment for any other cardiovascular condition. An exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in two public hospitals in an inner state city of the State of São Paulo. Of 253 participants studied, 69.2% were male, 69.6% were married or living with a partner, and 58.1% were professionally active before the current hospital admission. Mean age was 57.9 years old. Higher scores were seen in the Social Functioning ( x =86.1) domain, while the domain perceived as more compromised was Role Physical ( x =57.7). Female participants and those who had previously been treated for any other cardiovascular condition had lower quality of life, and these differences were all statistically significant (p<0.05). Calidad de vida relacionada a la salud de sujetos internados, como consecuencia del primer síndrome coronario agudoEl objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud, basada en las últimas cuatro semanas que antecedieron a la primera internación, por un síndrome coronario agudo, y describir potenciales asociaciones entre la calidad de vida, sexo y tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares. Como método, se utilizó el estudio descriptivo y exploratorio, de tipo transversal, realizado en dos hospitales públicos en el interior del Estado de Sao Paulo. De los 253 sujetos estudiados, 69,2% eran hombres, 69,6% casados, o vivían con un compañero, y 58,1% eran profesionalmente activos antes de la internación. La edad promedio fue de 57,9 años. Los mayores puntajes obtenidos fueron en el dominio aspectos sociales ( x =86,1), en cuanto el dominio más comprometido fue aspectos físicos ( x =57,7). Se concluye que las mujeres, así como los sujetos que ya hacían tratamiento previo para otras enfermedades cardiovasculares, presentaron peor calidad de vida, y las diferencias fueron todas estadísticamente significativas (p<0,05).

“…The findings demonstrate that on all domains of health-related quality of life as assessed by the SF-36, significant improvement occurs in South Asian and white patients following MI over time, a finding consistent with previous investigations of white patients only [32,33]. However, on most SF-36 domains (PF, RP, RE, SF, MH and BP) a significant difference was observed between groups in favour of the white group compared to the South Asian group.…”
