Kidney Function Does Not Modify the Favorable Quality of Life Changes Associated With Revascularization for Coronary Artery Disease: Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Although patients with kidney disease have potential to benefit from revascularization, they are also at higher risk of complications, which may affect quality of life. We studied a cohort of 8198 adults who underwent coronary angiography in Alberta, between 2004 and 2008, and completed health-related quality-of-life (HR-QOL) surveys. Changes in HR-QOL measures were most favorable among patients who received coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), but did not significantly differ by kidney function within groups of patients who received CABG, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or medical therapy (P value for interaction between estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and revascularization status >0.10 for all outcomes). Among those who received CABG, the adjusted mean EuroQol 5 dim
