Background: This single-center retrospective analysis investigated the number of days required for postoperative 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) to recover to preoperative values after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the factors influencing this recovery.Methods and Results: The 6MWD was measured in 101 patients (median age 69 years; 18 women) before and every day after CABG. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors affecting 6MWD recovery to preoperative values after CABG. The median number of days required for recovery of 6MWD after CABG was 9 (interquartile range 7–11 days). Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the median number of days required for recovery of 6MWD; there were 60 patients in the early recovery group (<9 days) and 41 in the “non-early” recovery group (38 who recovered after the median 9 days, and 3 who did not recover during hospitalization). Using univariate logistic regression analysis, diabetes (P=0.01), stroke (P=0.26), left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.27), and grip strength (P=0.13) were selected for multivariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes (odds ratio 2.955; 95% confidence interval 1.208–7.229; P=0.02) was the only independent predictor of 6MWD recovery.Conclusions: Diabetes was the single factor influencing the recovery of postoperative 6MWD in patients undergoing CABG.
