Key result
Living inside Kermanshah was associated with higher cardiac rehabilitation participation compared to living outside (27.0% vs 10.2%, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does systematic referral and a hybrid program model improve cardiac rehabilitation participation rates in patients after coronary bypass surgery?
Population
4,735 patients after coronary bypass surgery in the west of Iran (2002-2012)
Comparison
Systematic referral to cardiac rehabilitation… vs Non-systematic referral and hospital-based program

Geographic access may influence post-CABG CR participation; leaves open whether systematic referral or hybrid models improve rates in LMICs.

Does systematic referral and a hybrid program model improve cardiac rehabilitation participation rates in patients after coronary bypass surgery?
Absolute Event Rate: 27% vs 10.2%
p-value: p=<.001
Systematic referral and hybrid program models can significantly improve the low rates of cardiac rehabilitation participation after coronary bypass surgery in low- and middle-income countries.
Mahdi Nalini (2014) conducted an observational in coronary bypass surgery (n=4,735). Living inside Kermanshah (KSH) vs. Living outside Kermanshah (O-KSH) was evaluated on Cardiac rehabilitation participation rate (p=<.001). Living inside Kermanshah was associated with higher cardiac rehabilitation participation compared to living outside (27.0% vs 10.2%, P<0.001).
