Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Source: | Journal of Clinical Medicine, 12 (13) (Art N° 4406) | Abstract: | Patient-centred outcomes have grown in popularity over recent years in surgical care research. These patient-centred outcomes can be measured through the health-related quality of life (HRQL) without professional interpretations. In May 2022, a study regarding patient-centred outcomes up to 90 days postoperatively was published. Fourteen days after surgery, the HRQL decreased and returned to baseline levels after 30 days. Next, the HRQL significantly improved 90 days postoperatively. However, this study only focuses on a short-term follow-up of the patients. Hence, this follow-up study aims to assess the HRQL one year after totally endoscopic cardiac surgery. At baseline, 14, 30, and 90 days, and one year after surgery, the HRQL was evaluated using a 36-item short form and 5-dimensional European QoL questionnaires (EQ-5D). Using the 36-item short form questionnaire, a physical and mental component score is calculated. Over the period of one year, this physical and mental component score and the EQ-5D index value significantly improve. According to the visual analogue scale of the EQ-5D, patients score their health significantly higher one year postoperatively. In conclusion, after endoscopic cardiac surgery, the HRQL is significantly improved 90 days postoperatively and remains high one year afterward. | Keywords: | quality of life;clinical outcomes;totally endoscopic cardiac surgery | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/40546 | e-ISSN: | 2077-0383 | DOI: | https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm12134406 | ISI #: | 001030036800001 | Rights: | 2023 by the authors.
