Brief Summary:
This is a prospective epidemiological pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting and retaining patients in a large multicenter study that will audit Advanced Care Planning (ACP) practices and satisfaction with End Of Life (EOL) communication and decision-making in patients undergoing cardiac surgery using the current validated questionnaires and methodology.
Detailed Description:
Study Procedures:
Once patients have signed an informed consent they will be asked to complete the ACP evaluation questionnaire. Their level of frailty will be assessed with the 5-meter walk test. Two weeks after discharge (+ or - 7 days) they will be contacted by phone in order to complete 3 sections of the CANHELP questionnaire.
Study Tools
Patient questionnaires:
1. ACP Evaluation questionnaire: 5 questions about advance care planning on admission to hospital from CANHELP study (time predicted 10 minutes)
2. CANHELP questionnaire (sections relationship with doctors, communication and decision making) 2 weeks after discharge (time predicted 25 minutes)
Patient test:
1. 5-minute gait speed
Patient Assessment Data
2. Standard Demographics
3. Anthropometric data
4. Cardiac variables
5. Comorbidities
6. Lab Values
7. Frailty (assessed using 5-meter gait speed)
Post-surgical outcome data (will be sought in the chart after 30 days post-surgery)
1. Outcome
2. Complications
