Abstract

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess determinants of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) among Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) patients.MaterialsIt was a prospective study, carried out in ”cardiology A” department in Fattouma Bourguiba teaching hospital in Monastir, Tunisia. Data were obtained during hospitalisation (T0) through structured interviews. HRQOL was evaluated one month after discharge (T1) using the French version of MacNew questionnaire.ResultsThe mean age of the population was 51.92 ±6.4 years. The global HRQOL score was 4.80 ±0.95. In multivariate analysis, Global HRQOL had a significant positive association with in-hospital stay (β=0.440, p=0.004), number of children in charge (β=0.312, p=0.046) and type 2 diabetes (β=0.396, p=0.008) and a significant negative association with smoking pack¬/years (p/y) (β=-0.424, p=0.008).ConclusionThis study showed several factors that may affect HRQOL in IHD patients. Identifying these factors can provide early detection of patients who tend to have worse HRQOL post-IHD.
