To evaluate the changes in quality of life following conventional abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Prospective study.
Fifty-nine consecutive patients (50 men; nine women) in two surgical centres were investigated preoperatively, and at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. Quality of life was measured using the Short Form 36 (SF 36) questionnaire and the York Quality of Life questionnaire, from which the Rosser index was calculated.
Rosser index assessment showed restoration of quality of life to preoperative levels by 3 months, and significant improvement at 6 months. Changes in the SF 36 revealed significant improvement in mental health, and physical role limitation at all times postoperatively. Social function worsened at 6 weeks but improved to preoperative levels by 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Quality of life was improved after open aortic aneurysm repair. The time course of recovery shows a predominant improvement between 6 weeks and 3 months postoperatively.
评估传统腹主动脉瘤修复术后生活质量的变化。
前瞻性研究。
对两个手术中心的59例连续患者（50例男性；9例女性）在术前、术后6周、3个月和6个月进行调查。使用简短健康调查问卷36项（SF - 36）和约克生活质量问卷测量生活质量，并计算罗瑟指数。
罗瑟指数评估显示，生活质量在术后3个月恢复到术前水平，在6个月时显著改善。SF - 36的变化显示，术后心理健康和身体角色限制均有显著改善。社会功能在术后6周恶化，但在术后3个月和6个月时改善至术前水平。
开放主动脉瘤修复术后生活质量得到改善。恢复的时间进程显示，术后6周和3个月之间有显著改善。
