Abstract

Background: Health-related quality of life evaluation is necessary to have an overview of the patient's quality of life, in order to have appropriate strategies to improve both mental and physical health of the patients. The objective of the study is to describe the quality of life of patients with bradycardia after permanent pacemaker implantation, using Aquarel and SF 12 questionnaires at Hanoi Heart Hospital. Subjects and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study of patients with permanent pacemaker implantation at Hanoi Heart Hospital from June 2020 to October 2020. STATA 14 software was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 105 patients were included in the study with mean age 65,35 ± 13.71 years and 62,86% female, The highest AQUAREL scores after implantation, when compared to before implantation, is bradyarrhythmia function (72,52 ± 16.83; 91.19 ± 9.03; 96.19 ± 5.70), while the lowest scores is chest discomfort (60.24 ± 12.07, 86.46 ± 10.52; 95, 36 ± 6.14). The SF-12 scores in mental health aspect (55.62 ± 8.14; 56.71 ± 4.58; 56.86 ± 2.47) are higher than that scores in physical health aspect (38.93 ± 8.07; 43.26 ± 7.89; 51.75 ± 5.54). Conclusion: The patient's quality of life scores after permanent pacemaker implantation improved and gradually increased after 1, 3, 6- month follow-up (according to the AQUAREL scale) and increased from low to quite high (according to SF 12 scale).
