Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for cardiac surgery patients before and after surgery, comparing their outcomes to Croatian population norms and correlating them with EuroSCORE values.
- A total of 111 patients participated, with 64% responding a year after surgery; outcomes showed significant preoperative quality of life deficits in five health domains compared to the general population, particularly in physical and mental health.
- One year post-surgery, patients showed statistically significant improvements in four health domains, with higher EuroSCORE patients experiencing more extensive benefits in multiple areas compared to those with lower EuroSCORE results.
