Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Results of quality of life in 158 patients who underwent cardiac surgery due to the acute coronary syndrome are presented. Quality of life was assessed by using the SF-36 questionnaire. Groups were formed by age and by gender. It was revealed there are more patients with average and increased the quality of life in a group with surgical revascularization. Results were statistically insignificant in the age group up to 65 years and over 65 years of age, except the MH (p=0,02). Statistically significant difference was registered in RE indicator (p=0, 02) when comparing men and women physical and mental health. A statistically significant difference (p<0,001) in all indicators was registered in both age groups during 1 and 6 months, 1 and 12 months. There is no statistically significant difference between people with secondary and higher education.
