Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change of the Functional Status (with FDQ-s: Turkish version questionnaire)

  FDQ-S is a questionnaire created to evaluate the difficulties faced by patients undergoing cardiac surgery, especially when performing functional tasks of the thoracic region and upper extremity. The questionnaire consisting of 10 questions in total, the patients marked how much difficulty they had in each task, on a 100 mm straight line.The first point on the left means "no difficulty" and the last point on the right means "maximum difficulty". The score was determined by measuring from the starting point to the place marked by the patient. The total score is at most 100 points and at least 0 points. The high score indicates that the patient's strain level is high. With time frames we aimed to evaluate the change of the difficulty of patients function.
