Implication

Retrospective analysis reveals link between obesity and smoking with cardiac rehabilitation uptake in ACS patients, indicating critical risk factors for intervention.

Key Points

To examine the impact of selected risk factors on the frequency of cardiac rehabilitation in patients after acute coronary syndrome.
1600 patients after acute coronary syndrome were categorized into four rehabilitation groups.
Retrospective analysis of medical records focused on smoking, hypertension, and obesity risk factors.
Odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval were calculated to assess rehabilitation likelihood.
Propensity score matching was applied for group matching by age and gender.
Participants who resumed smoking showed an odds ratio of 3.42 for not undergoing rehabilitation at 6 months after ACS.
Obese individuals had an odds ratio of 3.69 for not participating in rehabilitation 6 months post-ACS.
Those who reduced obesity had an improved odds ratio of 6.51 after 5 years according to propensity score matching.
The highest likelihood of participation in both rehabilitation types was in quitting smokers (OR = 7.60 after 3 months).
