Abstract

The aim – to analyze the factors, associated with the change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients with intermediate coronary lesions at 3-months follow-up after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Materials and methods. A prospective single-center study enrolled 84 SCAD patients (mean age 64±8 years; males – 73 %) with intermediate coronary lesions (stenosis 50-90 %) (by invasive coronary angiography [ICA]), consecutively enrolled and hospitalized with the aim of elective PCI to be performed. HRQoL was evaluated by SF-36 (physical health summary [PHsum] and mental health summary [МНsum]) and SAQ (Seattle Angina Questionnaire»; the domains «physical limitation» [PL], «angina stability» [AS], «angina frequency» [AF], «treatment satisfaction» [TS] and «disease perception» [DP]), – at baseline and 3-months follow-up. The enrolled sample was subdivided in a dichotomous manner into the HRQoL «improvement» or «non-improvement» patterns, based on the cut-off-values (COVs) of clinically meaningful change of the certain HRQoL parameter score at 3-months follow-up after PCI.
Results and discussion. We revealed an improvement of average (median) HRQoL parameters at 3-months follow-up after PCI, namely PHsum (score increase from 38.8 to 43.1; р < 0.001), SAQ-AS (25 to 75; р < 0.001), SAQ-AF (70 to 80; р  <  0.001), SAQ-TS (58.8 to 70.6; р < 0.001) and SAQ-DP (45.8 to 66.7; р < 0.001). The clinically meaningful HRQoL improvement ranged from 14 % to 71 % cases, depending on the certain HRQoL parameter and the COVs of its change at follow-up after PCI. The worse baseline HRQoL, older age and higher baseline total cholesterol level were the factors, associated with the increased probability of HRQoL to be meaningfully improved after revascularization. In addition, a presence of diabetes mellitus, a history of acute cerebrovascular accident, and the ICA data on multivessel disease and in-stent restenosis after previous PCI, – all were associated with the lower odds of HRQoL «improvement» status to be achieved.
Conclusions. A PCI favored the HRQoL improvement in SCAD patients at 3-months follow-up. The clinical and angiographic factors, associated with the post-procedure change in HRQoL, should be considered for a better selection of SCAD patients with intermediate coronary lesions for PCI.
