Study on quality of life in postoperative patients with aortic valve replacement surgery / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the quality of life in the postoperative patients with aortic valve replacement (AVR) and related influencing factors .Methods The changes of preoperative and postoperative survival quality in 102 cases of AVR surgery were assessed by using the SF‐36 scale ,and the Logistic regression was used to analyze the impact of age ,effective valve orifice area and prosthetic valve on the quality of life .Results Five patients died during follow‐up .The relative baseline survey after postopera‐tive 1 year showed that the quality of life of patients was significantly improved ,the Logistic regression analysis revealed that a lar‐ger effective orifice area(EOA) and biological valve replacement could have higher health scale scores ,and showed a positive corre‐lation .Conclusion The quality of life in the postoperative patients with AVR is affected by the valve type and EOA of prosthetic valve .
