Background and objective: Quality of life is acknowledged as a vital outcome of healthcare measures, mostly in persons with heart disease. The main purpose of percutaneous coronary intervention is improving patients' quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of percutaneous coronary intervention on the quality of life of coronary artery disease patients at Surgical Specialty Hospital-Cardiac Center in Erbil City.
Methods: A pre-post study design was conducted to evaluate the quality of life of 100 patients with coronary artery disease before undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, and three months after the performed percutaneous coronary intervention, it was conducted from January 2022 until December 2022. The quality of life data was assessed through the Short Form-36 health status survey. It consists of 36 questions that measure eight health concepts divided into two dimensions: the physical and mental aspects. The highest score indicates better quality of life. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (Version 26).
Results: Most of the study participants were males with Mean and Standard Deviation of age 47.9±6.8. The highest percentage were married, able to read and write, self-employed, and hasn’t previous percutaneous coronary intervention. The results showed that patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention significantly improved their quality of life after performing percutaneous coronary intervention in the following subdomains of physical component summary (physical functioning, role-physical, general health) and (social functioning), P-value <0.05. While in subdomains of mental component summary (bodily pain, vitality, role-emotional and mental health) there were no statistically significant differences P-value >0.05.
Conclusion: The study concluded that overall quality of life significantly improved after performing percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease patients, mostly in the physical aspect compared with the mental aspect.
