dc.description.abstract | Background: This study aims to evaluate pre- and postoperative quality of life of the patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: The study included a total of 195 patients (159 males, 36 females; mean age 56.8 +/- 8.5 years; range, 32 to 78 years) above 18 years of age who had no communication problem and underwent elective CABG in a training and research hospital in Istanbul. The quality of life was measured using the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) preoperatively and at six weeks and one year postoperatively. Results: Patients' mean scores for sub-aspects of the quality of life were significantly increased at six weeks and one year postoperatively compared to preoperative values (p<0.001). Compared to preoperative period, the most significant increases were in scores for social function, physical role, and changes in health status during the preceding year at one year postoperatively. Conclusion: The quality of life of the patients increased in all aspects in the postoperative period. | en_US |
