Health-related quality of life and unscheduled re-hospitalizations after coronary revascularization: significant predictive role of the MacNew questionnaire.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients with low scores on the MacNew questionnaire, the unplanned hospitalizations should be considered more likely and therefore the clinicians should activate all precautions to avoid them, such as critically reviewing and reconsidering the medication dosages or changing the type of molecules that had been originally prescribed. In these cases, a low MacNew global score would serve as a wake-up call that would be able to direct the doctor's attention on the possibility of concealed procedure-related complications or of greater disease severity or of non-procedural complications.
