Abstract
PURPOSE
The aim was to examine the predictors of improvement of quality of life after 2 years of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
METHODS
In all, 208 patients who underwent the elective CABG at the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases Dedinje in Belgrade were contacted and examined 2 years after the surgery. All patients completed Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire part one.
RESULTS
Two years after CABG, quality of life (QOL) in patients was significantly improved in all sections compared to preoperative period. Independent predictors of QOL improvement after 2 years of CABG were found to be serious angina under sections of physical mobility [p = 0.003, odds ratio (OR) = 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-2.55], energy (p = 0.01, OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.11-2.38), sleep (p = 0.005, OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.16-2.35), pain (p <0.001, OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.57-3.77), absence of hereditary load in energy section (p = 0.002, OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.18-0.68), male sex in the sleep section (p = 0.03, OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20-0.93), and absence of diabetes in pain section (p = 0.006, OR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.10-0.68).
CONCLUSION
Predictors of improvement of QOL after 2 years of CABG are serious angina, absence of hereditary load, male sex, and absence of diabetes.
