The least common ones were sternum dehiscence (6.8%) and physical activity limitation (6.2%). Wound infection was seen in 43% of women and 21% of men (p=0.004). Sleep disturbance was detected in 56% of women and 40% of men (p=0.05). Anxiety was common in isolated valve surgery (p=0.02) and leg pain was common in CABG (p=0.03). Dyspnea (p=0.01), impaired sexual activity (p=0.03) and arm-shoulder pain (p=0.08) varied with age. In multiple coexistence analysis; Anxiety, neuropsychological complaints and gastrointestinal complaints showed coexistence.
