Abstract
Eight hundred thirty-six patients who had open-heart surgery were available for analysis of health-related quality of life (HRQL) data and survival at the 1-year follow-up. Elective open-heart surgery patients with decreasing HRQL at 1 year following surgery may experience a survival disadvantage in comparison with those patients experiencing positive gains. Clinical care should extend beyond the immediate postoperative period.
