1 Quality of Life After Early Mitral Valve Repair Using Conventional and Robotic Approaches

2 Fig. 1 Box plots demonstrate median (line) plus the middle 50% of the data (top and bottom box borders) for four quality of life measurements: (A) Duke Activity Status Index, (B) the physical component summary of the Short Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12), (C) the Linear Analogue Self-Assessment for chest pain frequency, and (D) fatigue after open (dark boxes) vs robotic (light boxes) mitral valve repair. The hashed lines drawn from the boxes indicate a distance equal to 1.5 times the interquartile range. Observations outside of that distance are plotted as potential outliers (circles).

3 Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrate time to return to work after open mitral valve repair (solid line) vs robotic (dashed line) repair. The time between the operation and return to full-time or part-time employment was shorter for patients who had robotic repair (p < 0.001).
