Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Cardiac surgical patients entering the hospital for operation were voluntarily recruited to participate a 12 month follow- up of health related quality of life (QOL)

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Cardiac surgical operation (valve, aorta, coronary arteries)

Detailed Description

Cardiac surgical patients entering the hospital for operation were voluntarily recruited to participate a 12 month follow- up of health related quality of life based on established QOL measurements with EuroQol quality of life 5 dimensional 3 level (EQ-5D-3L) description system at preoperative, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. The study started on May 2013 and ended at the end of 2018. The data has been analyzed for publication in 2021. The total number of patients reached 1594.

    EQ-Visual Analogue Scale, scale 0 (worst) to 100 (best possible), in percent

  2. EQ-Visual Analogue Scale result, at 6 months [6 months after surgery]

    EQ-Visual Analogue Scale, scale 0 (worst) to 100 (best possible), in percent

  3. EQ-Visual Analogue Scale result, at 12 months [12 months after surgery]

    EQ-Visual Analogue Scale, scale 0 (worst) to 100 (best possible), in percent

  4. Results of preoperative Quality of life dimensions [preoperative]

    5 dimensions measurable with EQ5D-3L (scale 1,2 or 3) (ordinal scale)

  5. Results of Quality of life dimensions at 6 months after surgery [6 months after surgery]

    5 dimensions measurable with EQ5D-3L (scale 1,2 or 3)(ordinal scale)

  6. Results of Quality of life dimensions at 12 months after surgery [12 months after surgery]

    5 dimensions measurable with EQ5D-3L (scale 1,2 or 3)(ordinal scale)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall mortality rate [over the follow-up period ranging 3 to 9 years postoperatively]

    Survival after surgery, annual postoperative, in percent

  2. Overall surgical morbidity rate [0 to 12 months after surgery]

    All surgical and cardiovascular complications, in percent

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Re-hospitalization rate [over the follow-up period ranging 3 to 9 years postoperatively]

    Re-admittance to health care facilities, annual postoperative, in percent
