Others' Prayers Don't Help in Coronary Artery Surgery according to a multicenter study led by a Harvard group: "The common plea to 'pray for me' doesn't seem to matter in the outcomes of patients having coronary artery bypass surgery according to a multicenter study led by a Harvard group(CABG), according to a multicenter study led by a Harvard group. In a six-hospital randomized study of the clinical effects having others pray for them, there was no benefit. 'Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from CABG,' found Herbert Benson, M.D., of the Mind/Body Institute of Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center here, and colleagues.
In fact, the complication rate was significantly higher for the 352 of 601 patients (59%) who were confident that others were praying for them, compared with the 315 of 604 (52%) of patients uncertain of such prayers (RR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.28) but who received them, Dr. Benson and colleagues reported in the April 4 issue of the American Heart Journal. "
