TI  - Changes in functional status and functional capacity following coronary artery 
      bypass surgery.
PG  - 330-4
AB  - The aim of the present study was to compare changes in health related-quality of 
      life (H-RQOL) on physical functioning and mental health domains, changes in 
      functional capacity before and 18 months after CABG surgery. Comprehensive data 
      on 187 patients who underwent CABG surgery were prospectively collected, 
      including preoperative factors and postoperative morbidity. Assessing functional 
      status, the change in physical functioning score and change in mental health 
      score were obtained using the physical functioning and mental health subscales 
      out of the eight total subscales of the (SF-36) questionnaire. Also, functional 
      capacity was estimated according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. The 
      results showed 18 months after CABG surgery survival rates were (95.7%). 
      Significant improvements in functional status were seen in physical functioning 
      (p < 0.001), mental health (p < 0.000). However, there were no significant 
      changes in the mean of functional status scores among patients in three age 
      groups. Other significant improvement was found in functional capacity and NYHA 
      class before and the 18 months after CABG. Functional status markedly and 
      significantly improved after CABG surgery, particularly in physical functioning. 
      However, the functional status among survivors of CABG surgery is worse than that 
      of the general population. It seems further research is needed to identify 
      factors explaining the change in H-RQOL to develop interventions to support 
      patients.
