The present study aimed to compare quality of life between patients treated with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and those treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Method: This cohort study sought to assess quality of life in 290 patients with 3-vessel or left main coronary artery disease, who were referred to Ekbatan Hospital, Hamedan, Iran, to undergo either CABG or PCI. Health-related quality of life was investigated at baseline and subsequently at 6 and 12 months postprocedurally with the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The patients’ quality of life was evaluated based on a scoring system 0 to 100, with higher scores representing a better health status. The primary outcomes were the physical component summary and mental component summary scores the SF-36. Results: The study results revealed a significant difference between the 2 groups regarding physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role- emotional, and mental health at baseline as well as at 6 and 12 months after the procedures (P < 0.001). Moreover, a significant relationship was observed between the type of procedure and desired quality of life (P < 0.05), which was more significant for PCI. However, no significant relationship was found between quality of life and diabetes, hyperlipidemia, high- density lipoprotein level, cigarette smoking, and the body mass index (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Our investigation of quality of life in the CABG and PCI groups using the SF-36 questionnaire revealed that quality of life was better in the PCI group.(Iranian Heart Journal 2017; 18(4):48-54) UR - http://journal.iha.org.ir/article_83136.html L1 - http://journal.iha.org.ir/article_83136_5d6db848c3347dc251b6b3a0be45a65e.pdf ER -
