The aim of this dissertation was to define parameters by retrospective data analysis that could predict the change in quality of life one year postoperatively. A multivariate regression analysis of the Score Building Group identified age (p=0,010), SF-36 Mental Composite Score (p=0,024) and Anxiety Sensitivity Scores (p=0,012) as significant predictors of a decrease in quality of life one year postoperatively. These factors were included in the score. Three prognostic groups were designed. When comparing the assignments to the three prognostic groups, it becomes obvious that the created score provides similar results in the building as well as in the validation group. Thus, the risk score seems valid and reproducible.
