Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The overall aim of this study is to describe and explore the recovery process of patients undergoing cardiac surgery during the covid-19 pandemic. This will include mortality, morbidity, health-related quality of life, event-specific distress and depression.

All adult patients having cardiac surgery during the pandemic at St Bartholomew's Hospital will be approached to join this study. As of the end of March this is this is approximately 20 operations a week. Questionnaires will be administered at five time points alongside a review of clinical notes.

Appropriate descriptive and summative statistics will be used to analyse outcomes. If sample size is adequate, possible associations/effect of the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on each of the recovery parameters included in the study will be determined. The differences in outcomes between those with and without covid-19 may also be analysed if the sample size is adequate. Bias and loss to follow-up in observational cohort studies has been considered.
