What are the participation rates and predictors of attendance and graduation in a home-based, case-managed alternative cardiac rehabilitation program?
A home-based, case-managed cardiac rehabilitation program achieved a 41% participation rate with no significant gender difference, though participation among older patients remained poor.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support home-based cardiac rehab implementation; leaves open strategies to boost older patient enrollment and confirm outcomes.
Ratchford et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft, and percutaneous coronary intervention (n=1,030). Colorado Kaiser Permanente Cardiac Rehabilitation (KPCR) program was evaluated on Participation rates (attendance and graduation). The home-based, case-managed cardiac rehabilitation program achieved a 41% participation rate among eligible patients, with over 75% of participants graduating and no significant gender difference.
