Data on whether health-related quality of life improves similarly after CABG in diabetics and nondiabetics are limited. We assessed long-term mortality and changes in quality of life (RAND-36 Health Survey) after CABG.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Seventy-four of the 508 patients (14.6%) operated on in a single institution had a history of diabetes and were compared with nondiabetics. The RAND-36 Health Survey was used as an indicator of quality of life. Assessments were made preoperatively and repeated 1 and 12 years later.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Thirty-day mortality was 2.7 versus 1.6 (p\u2009=\u20090.511) in the diabetics and nondiabetics. One- and 10-year survival rates in the diabetics and nondiabetics were 94.6% versus 97.0% (p\u2009=\u20090.287) and 63.5% versus 81.6% (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), respectively. After 1\u2009year, diabetics improved significantly (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.005) in seven, and nondiabetics (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) in all eight RAND-36 dimensions. Despite an ongoing decline in quality of life over the 12-year follow-up, an improvement was maintained in four out of eight dimensions among diabetics and in seven dimensions among nondiabetics. Physical and mental component summary scores on the RAND-36 improved significantly (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) in both groups after 1\u2009year, and at least slight improvement was maintained during the 12-year follow-up time.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Diabetics have inferior long-term survival after CABG as compared with nondiabetics. They gain similar improvement of quality of life in 1\u2009year after surgery, but they have a stronger decline tendency over the years.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1676791","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]],"date-time":"2019-01-18T03:03:07Z","timestamp":1547780587000},"page":"050-056","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Diabetics have Inferior Long-Term Survival and Quality of Life after CABG"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Matti","family":"Hokkanen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Central Hospital, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heini","family":"Huhtala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Otso","family":"J\u00e4rvinen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Heart Center, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,2]]},"container-title":["International Journal of Angiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676791.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]],"date-time":"2019-03-14T19:37:48Z","timestamp":1552592268000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1676791"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,14]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676791","relation":{},"ISSN":["1061-1711","1615-5939"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1061-1711","type":"print"},{"value":"1615-5939","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,2]]}}}
