Impact of Preoperative Functional Status on Quality of Life after Cardiac Surgery.
TL;DR: Although a general improvement in the HRQoL following cardiac surgery was demonstrated, in one-fifth of patients, there was no recovery of mental health status even after 1 year, and preoperative health status, age < 70 years, coronary artery bypass grafting, and a previous neurological event were identified as predictors of deterioration in postoperative HRZoL.

SF-36 health survey update.
TL;DR: The SF-36 (Medical Outcomes Trust, Boston, MA) is a multipurpose, short-form health survey with only 36 questions, which yields an eight-scale profile of scores as well as physical and mental health summary measures as mentioned in this paper.

Prevalence and outcomes of anemia in geriatrics: a systematic review of the literature.
TL;DR: Future directions for research on anemia should include a more detailed examination of the importance of aging or age-related diseases on the pathogenesis of anemia, an assessment of the Importance of Anemia on outcomes such as physical function and cognitive function, and an analysis of whether impairments associated with anemia are amenable to correction by improving hemoglobin concentration.

Cardiac surgery in octogenarians; peri-operative outcome and long-term results.
TL;DR: Cardiac operations are successful in most octogenarians with increased hospital mortality, and longer hospital stay, and long-term survival and quality of life are good.
