Changes in Functional Status and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults After Surgical, Interventional, or Medical Management of Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Functional status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are important outcomes, particularly among older patients. However, data on such patient-centered outcomes after cardiac surgery are limited. We evaluated the incidence and predictors of decline in functional status and HRQoL among older patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Participants were age 75 years or older hospitalized for AMI at 94 US sites. We examined decline in functional status (defined as decline in 1 or more activities of daily living, ADLs), as well as mental (MCS) and physical component scales (PCS) of the SF-12 to assess HRQoL (5-point decline or greater in each scale) between 1 month prior to the hospitalization and 6 months after. Multivariable model compared the risk of decline after co
