Abstract: Background Quality of life (QoL) is a multifactorial concept that assesses physical and mental health. We prospectively studied the quality of life of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery using the Short-Form 36-item questionnaire (SF-36) up to 10 years after surgery. Methods Between January 2000 and December 2002, all patients undergoing elective isolated CABG in the cardiac & thoracic surgery department of a large university hospital in East… Show more

“…The present study showed that education and occupation were one of the independent predictors for higher social QOL domains after 3 and 6 months of surgery, respectively. Such results agree with a previous study conducted in France [21]. This might be explained by that educated persons maintain their lifestyle, health-related behavior, and consider the essence of their illness and surgery complications.…”

“…The current study showed that diabetes was one of the significant independent predictors of QOL worsening in the physical domain after 6 months of surgery. This is concordant with a study reported in France [21]. On the other hand, a previous study in Iran [22] found higher QOL in diabetic patients than non-diabetic ones.…”

“…ese procedures are associated with declining functional capacities due to plausible ebb-flow phases occurring from the surgical stress, hospitalization, and drug related effects further leading to lowered levels of physical activity [5,6,7]. However, CABG surgery has been observed to positively influence physical and mental health leading to an improved health related quality of life (HRQoL) after a period of 5 years [8]. A meta-analysis of HRQoL scores showed similar improvement in quality of life with minimal differences between PCI and CABG patients [9].…”

“…Furthermore, such patients may experience difficulties in returning back to normal activities of daily living because of (1) misconception that activity should be limited, (2) generalized muscle weakness after surgery owing to the lack of use. These reasons may eventually have a negative impact on the psychological status and quality of life of the patient [ 5 7 ].…”
