Factors related to permanent disability employment on patients fewer than 62 years operated by open heart surgery.

Results A cohort of 204 patients was studied. Age 51 +/9 years; 156 (76,5%) were male; Logistic Euroscore (LE) of 5.1 +/8.4, LVEF 58 +/11. Surgery was 86 (42.2%) CABG, 79 (38.7%) valvular, 16 (7.8%) combined surgery and 23 (11.3%) others. 28 (13.7%) were self-employed. 15 of them already had a PI at the time of surgery. Patients with PI presented a LE of 6.7+/3.9 Vs. 11+/5 (p = 0.006); age 53+/-6 vs 48 +/-10 (p < 0.001), with no difference in LVEF. There were more PI among women (57%) than male 41% (p = 0.046). There was a higher percentage of valvular surgery in women. Higher number of CABG and valvular surgery was associated with PI (p = 0.015). Conclusions Permanent work cessation activity after open-heart surgery was statistically determined with an older age, comorbidity, female gender and type of intervention. Valve surgery, the number of valves operated or higher number of bypasses increase the probability of PI.
