Quality of life assessment and survival analysis are a "gold standard" in assessing treatment quality in general. In the absence of a universally accepted integral index, we developed our own QOLi-NS (Quality of Life Index--Novi Sad) as a disease specific index. The aim of this study was to investigate long-term survival and quality of life after myicardial revascularization with respect to sex and age.
