Key result
Tailored rehabilitation improves physical function vs usual care in older patients hospitalized for HF.
Why the study?
Does an early, transitional, tailored, progressive rehabilitation intervention improve physical function in older patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Does an early, transitional, tailored, progressive rehabilitation intervention improve physical function in older patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
An early, tailored, and progressive physical rehabilitation intervention improves physical function in older patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure.
Supports early tailored rehab in older acute HF inpatients; extends prior evidence with RCT confirmation in hospitalized setting.
In a diverse population of older patients who were hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure, an early, transitional, tailored, progressive rehabilitation intervention that included multiple physical-function domains resulted in greater improvement in physical function than usual care.
