TL;DR
A smoking cessation program for inpatients recovering from coronary artery bypass surgery was developed and tested in a randomized, controlled trial and identified factors associated with sustained nonsmoking to guide future intervention efforts.
Abstract
Even without specific intervention, nearly one half of smokers quit for 5 years after coronary artery bypass surgery. A short inpatient education program did not increase this rate. Future efforts should target the time after discharge and focus on increasing motivation in patients who have repeatedly failed to quit.
