Total health status (EQ-VAS) At six month follow-up, the study population had an improved median EQ-VAS compared to before coronary angiography (75 vs. Women assesse at admission as worse than men, a significant difference (p 0.05). , but icant (p 0 differences were found in the typicality of symptoms with respect to EQ-VAS (p 0.50). Patients with a final diagnosis of CAD rated their total health status at admission (EQ-VAS 82) as better than patients with. no CAD did (EQ-vAS 6, p 0.03); however, at six month follow up no significant difference was observed (EQ-VAS 68 vs 66, pa 0.76) (Figure 1) EQ-index EQ-index comparisons at admission and. at six month follow-up are presented in Table 2. At admission, 79 of the patients had no problems with mobility, no patients had problems with care, and.
