Brief summary

Cardiac surgical patients entering the hospital for operation were voluntarily recruited to participate a 12 month follow- up of health related quality of life (QOL)

Detailed description

Cardiac surgical patients entering the hospital for operation were voluntarily recruited to participate a 12 month follow- up of health related quality of life based on established QOL measurements with EuroQol quality of life 5 dimensional 3 level (EQ-5D-3L) description system at preoperative, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. The study started on May 2013 and ended at the end of 2018. The data has been analyzed for publication in 2021. The total number of patients reached 1594.
