TL;DR
The Physical Component Summary score from the preoperative SF-36 is an independent risk factor for mortality following CABG surgery, and the baseline Mental component Summary score does not appear to be predictive of mortality.
Abstract
The Physical Component Summary score from the preoperative SF-36 is an independent risk factor for mortality following CABG surgery. The baseline Mental Component Summary score does not appear to be predictive of mortality. Preoperative patient self-report of the physical component of health status may be helpful for risk stratification and clinical decision making for patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Patients with depression in the period immediately after a myocardial infarction were 3.5 times more likely to die than nondepressed patients, suggesting that the changes in the autonomic nervous system and platelets that are seen in depression account for a substantial portion of the association.

Regression models can make more accurate predictions than other methods such as stratification and recursive partitioning, when model assumptions are thoroughly examined; steps are taken when assumptions are violated; and the method of model formulation does not result in overfitting the data.

There has been an overall significant reduction in the observed-to-expected operative mortality ratio, and it is likely that part of this improvement has occurred because of the continuous feedback of these quality improvement data to cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists.

Risk factors for increased operative death appear to have similar odds ratios for subgroups of patients defined by a second risk variable, which greatly simplifies the use of predicted operative mortality in clinical decision making and quality assessment and improvement in coronary artery bypass grafting.

Health status and other outcomes assessments should be part of a continuous quality improvement cycle which begins with measuring patient status and developing treatment plans, proceeds to monitoring patient progress, evaluates the clinical effectiveness of the service, and concludes with outcomes information being fed back to improve the structure and process of future health care services before the cycle can begin again.
