Key Result

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation maintained health benefits at 12 months, demonstrating its effectiveness as an alternative to on-site programs.

Key Points

To evaluate the long-term outcomes of home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) programs after 12 months.
Assessment of health outcomes at baseline and after 12 months for participants in HBCR.
Comparison of outcomes for those with and without additional follow-up appointments.
Analysis of data from veteran affairs participants undergoing HBCR.
Participants maintained health benefits related to cardiac rehabilitation after 12 months.
The home-based model proved safe and effective compared to traditional on-site rehab.
Further analysis is needed to understand the impact of follow-up appointments on health improvements.

Structured PICO

Does home-based cardiac rehabilitation maintain health benefits at 12 months?

Population

Veterans undergoing home-based cardiac rehabilitation

Intervention

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR)

Outcome

Maintenance of health benefits

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation models can maintain health benefits up to 12 months.

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Abstract

Home-based models have been proven to be a safe and effective alternative to on-site programs. Our findings demonstrate maintenance of health benefits at 12 months following a home-based model. Future analysis of the HBCR model is necessary to evaluate maintenance improvements in those participants who did not receive additional follow-up appointments.
