AB  - AIMS: This study compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between patients 
      aged >/= 70 and <70 years at 4 weeks and 6 months after primary percutaneous 
      coronary intervention (PPCI) and examined predictors of HRQOL. BACKGROUND: HRQOL 
      is an important patient outcome following PPCI for ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI) including pre-hospital field triage. METHODS: A comparative 
      cohort design was conducted on STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. HRQOL was measured 
      using the Medical Outcomes Short Form-12 (SF-12) and the Seattle Angina 
      Questionnaire (SAQ) at 4 weeks and 6 months post-PPCI. RESULTS: HRQOL improved 
      significantly from 4 weeks to 6 months in all aspects measured except anginal 
      frequency and mental health. Patients aged >/= 70 years had poorer physical HRQOL 
      (SF-12) and physical limitations (SAQ), but better mental HRQOL (SF-12), angina 
      frequency and QOL (SAQ) at both time points. Age, length of hospital stay, 
      gender, partnership status and number of stents deployed are independent 
      predictors of HRQOL improvement over time. CONCLUSION: People >/= 70 years reported 
      better cardiac-specific quality of life, primarily from angina relief and 
      improved mental function, despite worse physical limitations. HRQOL assessment is 
      an important gauge of health status after PPCI for STEMI.
