Comparison of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) quality of life scores between patients who underwent Cox maze III surgery (black bars; n = 27) and a control group of 120 healthy subjects (gray bars) in our database (with age- and sex-matched distribution). Data are shown as scores (maximum value = 100) on the eight scales of the SF-36. No statistical difference could be demonstrated on any scale.
