TI  - Effect of Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery on Patients' Quality of Life.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery is a common technique 
      used to control the incidence of myocardial ischemia and to increase the lifespan 
      of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). There is still considerable 
      controversy about effect of OPCAB on patients' quality of life. The purpose of 
      this study was to determine the effect of OPCAB on different aspects of the 
      patients' quality of life. METHODS: A total of 190 patients who underwent 
      elective OPCAB surgery at Afshar Hospital in Yazd, Iran, from October 2012 
      through April 2013 participated in the study. Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) 
      questionnaire was used in structured interviews before and 3 months after the 
      OPCAB surgery. Independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney test and analysis of 
      variance were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Quality of life from the 
      aspect of pain (P = 0.014), energy (P = 0.001), emotional reaction (P < 0.001), 
      social isolation (P = 0.002) and physical activity (P = 0.005) were significantly 
      different, but there was no significant difference in sleep between men and women 
      (P = 0.06). Women achieved a better quality of life 3 months after OPCAB surgery 
      (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in patients' quality of life in 
      terms of their ejection fraction (P = 0.06). There was no significant difference 
      in patients' quality of life in terms of their New York Heart Association (NYHA) 
      functional class score (P = 0.57). Patients' quality of life scores before OPCAB 
      surgery and 3 months after the surgery showed no significant difference after 
      adjusting for history of myocardial infarction (P = 0.82), hyperlipoproteinemia 
      (P = 0.38), cigarette addiction (P = 0.2), hypertension (P = 0.7) and diabetes 
      mellitus (P = 0.15). CONCLUSION: Most aspects of patients' quality of life were 
      better after OPCAB surgery. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study 
      was that women's quality of life was better than men's after OPCAB surgery. Since 
      CAD is prevalent and OPCAB is one way to treat and manage this disease, patients' 
      quality of life can be improved if they are managed appropriately after OPCAB 
      surgery (especially for men).
