Multicenter StudyQuality of life after coronary bypass: a multicentre study of routinely collected health data in the Netherlands†.
In this study, our aim was to explore how coronary artery bypass grafting affects quality of life, and how this varies with age, particularly with patients at risk of deterioration. ⋯ Most patients experience a relevant increase in physical and mental quality of life, but a proportion of patients aged ≥80 years undergo significant deterioration in mental health.
