Quality of Life After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Schmidt Río Valle, Jacqueline Abu Ejheisheh, Moath Membrive Jiménez, María José Suleiman Martos, Nora Albendín García, Luis Correa Rodríguez, María Gómez Urquiza, Jose Luis Coronary artery bypass graft Meta-analysis Prevalence Surgery Systematic review Quality of life Follow-up study Coronary heart disease is a public health problem and is one of the leading causes of loss of quality of life, disability, and death worldwide. The main procedure these patients undergo is cardiac catheterisation, which helps improve their quality of life, symptoms of myocardial ischemia, and ventricular function, thus helping increase the survival rate of su erers. It can also, however, lead to physical consequences, including kidney failure, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke. The objective of this study was to analyse how coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) influences quality of life. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted using the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Cuiden databases in June 2020. A total of 7537 subjects were included, 16 in the systematic review and 3 in the meta-analysis. The studies analysing quality of life using the SF questionnaire showed improvements in the quality of physical and mental appearance, and those using the NHP questionnaire showed score improvements and, in some cases, di erences in quality of life between women and men. This operation seems to be a good choice for improving the quality of life of people with coronary pathologies, once the possible existing risks have been assessed. 2021-01-27T10:44:46Z 2021-01-27T10:44:46Z 2020-11-14 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Schmidt-RioValle, J., Abu Ejheisheh, M., Membrive-Jiménez, M.
