Low referral and enrollment rates among hospitalized women merit attention; leaves open targeted strategies addressing education and intent.
Observational (n=131)
p-value: p=<.05
Cardiac rehabilitation referral and enrollment rates among eligible women remain low, with lower education and lack of intent to enroll identified as key barriers.
Sanderson et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Eligible cardiac rehabilitation diagnosis (n=131). Factors associated with cardiac rehabilitation utilization vs. Unexposed/reference groups (e.g., lower education, no intent to enroll) was evaluated on Cardiac rehabilitation referral and enrollment rates (p=<.05). Among eligible hospitalized women, 59% were referred to cardiac rehabilitation and 34% of those referred enrolled, with enrollment associated with higher education and intent to enroll (P<0.05).
