[Survival and working ability in men after coronary bypass surgery (analysis of registry data)]

This retrospective study was focused on the survival and working ability in 2169 men (mean age 54.5 +/- 5.8 yr) included in the registry after they underwent coronary bypass surgery in 2000-2009. Three, five and ten-year survival rates were 91, 87 and 74% respectively. Independent factors influencing long-term survival were correction of valve defects (OR 3, 1, 95%, CI 1.9-4.8; p < 0.001) and left ventricular ejection fraction (OR 2, 9, 95% CI 2.1-3.8; p < 0.001). 34.2 and 60.2% of the patients were disabled before and after surgery respectively. This rise is attributed to the poorly developed system of postoperative rehabilitation. Occupational status was not an independent factor affecting long-term survival.
