Patient Reported Barriers for Participation in Supervised Exercise Therapy for Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 106:124-131. [PMID: 38810724 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Supervised exercise therapy (SET) provides clinical benefit for patients suffering from intermittent claudication due to peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, enrollment in programs when offered remains low. We sought to identify patient-reported barriers to enrollment in SET as part of a prospective quality improvement program. METHODS Patients who presented to clinic and were diagnosed with claudication were offered enrollment in a prospective quality improvement protocol, offered at 9 regional offices throughout our health system. Both patients who enrolled and declined enrollment were offered a 12-question questionnaire to identify potential barriers to enrollment. Additional data including gender, smoking status, ankle-brachial index (ABI), proximity to the nearest regional office, and disadvantage levels of neighborhoods (low: 1-3, medium: 4-7, and high: 8-10 area deprivation index [ADI]) was collected and compared by program participation using univariate analysis. RESULTS Patients enrolled in the SET program (n = 66 patients) versus those who declined (n = 84 patients) were of similar age (medium age: 71.4 vs. 69.7 years, P = 0.694), baseline ABI (0.6 vs. 0.6, P = 0.944), smoking status (former 56.1% vs. 53.6%, P = 0.668), distance away from outpatient center (8.2 mi vs. 8.4 mi, P = 0.249), and had similar Connecticut state ADIs (2021 high-disadvantage: 35.4% vs. 33.3%, P = 0.549). Patients participating in the SET program were more likely to be male (78.8% vs. 56.0%, P = 0.003). Top self-reported barriers for patients who declined participation included transportation/distance (39.3%), preference for independent walking (56.0%), inability to commit to 3 sessions per week (52.4%), and lack of interest (20.2%). In addition, a higher proportion of patients who declined participation identified severe barriers of preference for independent walking (39.3% vs. 1.5%, P < 0.001), inability to commit to 3 sessions per week (26.2% vs. 3.0% P < 0.001), transportation/distance issues (23.8% vs. 7.6% P = 0.008), and cost (27.4% vs. 9.1%, P = 0.005) as significant barriers for participation in SET. CONCLUSIONS Patients who declined participation in SET for PAD had similar disease status and access to care than participating counterparts. Top reported barriers to enrollment include a preference for independent walking, transportation/distance, commitment to 3x/week program, and cost, which highlight areas of focus for equitable access to these limb-saving services.

The relationship between discharge location and cardiac rehabilitation use after cardiac surgery. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2024:S0022-5223(24)00278-2. [PMID: 38522574 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2024.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a guideline-recommended risk-reduction program offered to cardiac surgical patients. Despite CR's association with better outcomes, attendance remains poor. The relationship between discharge location and CR use is poorly understood. METHODS This study was a nationwide, retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare fee-for-service claims for beneficiaries undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting and/or surgical aortic valve repair between July 1, 2016, and December 31, 2018. The primary outcome was attendance of any CR session. Discharge location was categorized as home discharge or discharge to extended care facility (ECF) (including skilled nursing facility, inpatient rehabilitation, and long-term acute care). Multivariable logistic regression models evaluated the association between discharge location, CR attendance, and 1-year mortality. RESULTS Of the 167,966 patients who met inclusion criteria, 34.1% discharged to an ECF. Overall CR usage rate was 53.9%. Unadjusted and adjusted CR use was lower among patients discharged ECFs versus those discharged home (42.1% vs 60.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.66; P < .001). Patients discharged to long-term acute care were less likely to use CR than those discharged to skilled nursing facility or inpatient rehabilitation (reference category: home; adjusted odds ratio for long-term acute care, 0.36, adjusted odds ratio for skilled nursing facility, 0.69, and adjusted odds ratio for inpatient rehabilitation, 0.71; P < .001). CR attendance was associated with a greater reduction in adjusted 1-year mortality in patients discharged to ECFs (9.7% reduction) versus those discharged home (4.3% reduction). CONCLUSIONS In this national analysis of Medicare beneficiaries, discharge to ECF was associated with lower CR use, despite a greater association with improved 1-year mortality. Interventions aimed at increasing CR enrollment at ECFs may improve CR use and advance surgical quality.

Safe and promising outcomes of in-hospital preoperative rehabilitation for coronary artery bypass grafting after an acute coronary syndrome. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:139. [PMID: 38438846 PMCID: PMC10910820 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03757-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with stable hemodynamic status after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after preoperative investigations can provide outcomes comparable to those of emergency surgery. However, no established guidelines exist regarding the preparation period before surgery. We report the results of the use of an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program followed by CABG after an ACS to improve post-operative outcomes and prognosis after discharge. METHODS From 2005 to 2017, 471 patients underwent either isolated or combined CABG at our institution, and of those, the 393 who received isolated CABG were included in the analysis. Twenty-seven patients (6.9%) were admitted with ACS and underwent preoperative rehabilitation before undergoing CABG, with a subsequent review of surgical morbidity and mortality rates. Propensity score matching yielded a cohort of 26 patients who underwent preoperative rehabilitation (group A) and 26 controls (group B). Preoperative characteristics were similar between groups. RESULTS The completion rate of the rehabilitation program was 96.3%. All programs were conducted with inpatients, with an average length of stay of 23 ± 12 days. All patients completed in-bed exercises, and 85% completed out-of-bed exercises. The 30-day postoperative mortality was 0% in both groups A and B, and the rate of postoperative major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events at 12 months did not differ significantly between groups (7.7% vs 3.9%, respectively; p = 1.0). The duration of mechanical ventilation (1.3 ± 0.3 vs 1.5 ± 0.3 days, respectively; p = 0.633), length of intensive care unit stay (4.4 ± 2.1 vs 4.8 ± 2.3 days, respectively; p = 0.584) and length of hospital stay (25 ± 13 vs 22 ± 9 days, respectively; p = 0.378) did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSIONS No complications of preoperative rehabilitation were observed, suggesting that it is an acceptable option for patients who experience ACS and undergo CABG. These results are promising in offering more robust designs of future trials.

Abstract
Objectives Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a class I recommendation in the treatment guidelines for cardiovascular disease; however, its postoperative prognostic effects after surgery are not fully understood. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of multidisciplinary outpatient CR on postdischarge all-cause mortality in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery. Methods This retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients who underwent elective cardiovascular surgery between April 2015 and March 2021. Patients were categorized into CR and non-CR groups. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality. Propensity score-matching analysis was performed to minimize selection bias and differences in clinical characteristics. The propensity score for each patient was produced using logistic regression analysis, with the CR group and the subsequent 27 variables as the dependent and independent variables, respectively. Results In our cohort (n = 1095), 51 patients (4.7%) died during the follow-up period (mean, 1042 days). The CR group had a significantly lower mortality rate than the non-CR group (hazard ratio, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.21-0.95; P = .036). After propensity score matching adjusted for confounders, the association between CR and reduced risk of all-cause mortality remained (hazard ratio, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14-0.85; P = .02). Conclusions Postdischarge multidisciplinary outpatient CR in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery was associated with a substantial survival benefit, which persisted after adjusting for variables, including age, operative factors, physical and cognitive functions, and nutritional status.

Utility of Cardiac Rehabilitation for Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Hospital-Acquired Functional Decline after Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4123. [PMID: 37373816 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12124123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Hospital-acquired functional decline is an important outcome that affects the long-term prognosis of patients after cardiac surgery. Phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for outpatients is expected to improve prognosis; however, this is not clear in patients with hospital-acquired functional decline after cardiac surgery. Therefore, this study evaluated whether phase II CR improved the long-term prognosis of patients with hospital-acquired functional decline after cardiac surgery. This single-center, retrospective observational study included 2371 patients who required cardiac surgery. Hospital-acquired functional decline occurred in 377 patients (15.9%) after cardiac surgery. The mean follow-up period was 1219 ± 682 days in all patients, and there were 221 (9.3%) cases with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after discharge during the follow-up period. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated that hospital-acquired functional decline and non-phase II CR was associated with a higher incidence of MACE than other groups (log-rank, p < 0.001), additionally exhibiting prognosticating MACE in multivariate Cox regression analysis (HR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.01-2.50; p = 0.047). Hospital-acquired functional decline after cardiac surgery and non-phase II CR were risk factors for MACE. The participation in phase II CR in patients with hospital-acquired functional decline after cardiac surgery could reduce the risk of MACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-coronary artery bypass grafting (post-CABG) is a beneficial procedure for cardiac patients. However, without an appropriate cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program, patient care may be inadequate, leading to recurrent hospitalizations and heart failure. This study aims to assess the effects of a CR program on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measures in post-CABG patients at Amir-almomenin, kordkuy Hospital, Golestan, Iran. METHODS This descriptive-analytic study included 100 patients who underwent post-CABG surgery in the second half of 2020, and whose complete information was available in their medical files. An echocardiologist assessed the LVEF and TAPSE of the patients. After one month of CR procedures, these measures were reevaluated and recorded. The CR program consisted of 5 to 10 sessions of physiotherapy per patient, with 2 or 3 sessions conducted per week. It involved a four-phase therapy that included light sports activities such as running and jogging on a treadmill at a CR clinic. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 18. RESULTS The data analysis of this study suggests that implementing a CR program for post- CABG patients can have beneficial effects. CR significantly increased the patients' LVEF, but the increase in TAPSE was not statistically significant. Furthermore, both male and female patients showed improved LVEF after the CR program. There was a non-significant inverse relationship between hospitalization duration and LVEF. Statistically, older patients had a significantly longer duration of hospitalization compared to younger patients. CONCLUSION Completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program leads to significant improvement in left ventricular function, while the improvement in right ventricular function is relatively modest. Moreover, a significant proportion of patients were able to resume their normal daily activities after completing the rehabilitation phase.

Abstract
Background: The current status of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after cardiac surgery and the introduction of early CR (E-CR) in Japan are not fully understood. In this study, the current status of E-CR and its efficacy were investigated by the Academic Committee of the Japanese Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation. Methods and Results: We examined the rate of introduction of E-CR and its effects among 220,122 patients who underwent major cardiac and thoracic vascular surgery, as registered in the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) classification system, between April 2012 and March 2018. In this study, E-CR was defined as CR starting within 1 day after surgery. Patients with and without E-CR were propensity score matched and analyzed for clinical outcomes. Of all patients participating in CR after surgery, E-CR was initiated in 52.1%, 56.9%, 47.4%, and 54.1% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, valve surgery, aortic surgery, and other cardiovascular surgery, respectively. After propensity score matching, outcomes for E-CR were significantly superior to non-E-CR in terms of in-hospital deaths, Barthel Index score at discharge, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs. Conclusions: E-CR after cardiac surgery was effective in terms of prognosis, hospital stay, and medical costs. This study is the first report using big data in Japan. The results indicate that further introduction of E-CR needs to be recommended in the future.

[PMID: 36002669 PMCID: PMC9402270 DOI: 10.1007/s11845-022-03129-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to assess and evaluate adherence to secondary prevention recommendations and risk factor modifications among a patient cohort at a single-tertiary centre in Ireland, following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS This is a retrospective observational study analysing patients who had CABG from 2015 to 2020, identified via the Adult Cardiac Surgery Database. Patients were asked a number of questions either over the phone or via postal survey, regarding blood pressure, cholesterol control, adherence to medication, attendance at cardiac-rehab and lifestyle factors. Any repeat interventions following CABG were noted. RESULTS A total of 540 patients were invited to take part in this study. One hundred seventy-three patients consented to participate, ranging from 47 to 86 years old. Postoperatively, 59% of participants attended cardiac rehab. 90.2% of patients report taking a statin, 91.3% report taking an antiplatelet, 77.4% report taking a β-blocker and 75.7% take an antihypertensive. 93.1% of patients questioned in this study reported full compliance with their daily medications. Sixteen patients continue to have hypertension despite their current regimen. Thirteen patients continue to have hypercholesterolemia despite their current prescription. 62.4% of participants have quit smoking with only 4.6% remaining current smokers. No patients required re-operation, and eight patients required stenting. Compliance with diet and exercise modifications was suboptimal. CONCLUSION In this patient population, adherence to medication and control of risk factors is acceptable. However, there is room for improvement in terms of attendance at cardiac rehab (59%) and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle post-CABG.

Effect of Early Exercise Rehabilitation on Cardiopulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:4590037. [PMID: 36003994 PMCID: PMC9385281 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4590037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of early exercise rehabilitation on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Eighty patients with coronary heart disease who underwent CABG from April 2020 to April 2022 were divided into the study group (n = 40) and control group (n = 40). The control group was given conventional treatment and routine care after CABG, and the study group received early exercise rehabilitation according to the control group. The cardiac function indexes, 6-minute walking test (6MWT), and cardiopulmonary function indexes and quality of life of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention, and the length of hospitalization and hospital costs as well as the occurrence of pulmonary complications in both groups were recorded. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly higher (P < 0.05), and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the study group than in the control group after the intervention; 6MWT, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), and anaerobic threshold (AT) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the study group than in the control group after the intervention; physical function (PF), role physical (RP), general health (GH), and role emotional (RE) dimension scores were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the study group compared with the control group after the intervention The differences in the scores of the remaining dimensions were not statistically significant (P > 0.05); the total hospitalization time in the test group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05), the hospitalization cost was significantly less than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the total incidence of pulmonary infection and hypoxemia was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Early exercise rehabilitation can effectively improve cardiopulmonary function and exercise tolerance and improve the quality of life of patients after CABG.

Abstract
Background:
Since the reporting of a cluster outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in sports gyms, the Japanese Association of Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) shared a common understanding of the importance of preventing patients and healthcare providers from contracting COVID-19. This questionnaire survey aimed to clarify the status of CR in Japan during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods and Results:
An online questionnaire survey was conducted in 37 Japanese CR training facilities after the national declaration of a state of emergency in 7 prefectures. Among these facilities, 70% suspended group ambulatory CR and 43% suspended cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). In contrast, all facilities maintained individual inpatient CR. Of the 37 facilities, 95% required CR staff to wear a surgical mask during CR. In contrast, 50% of facilities did not require patients to wear a surgical mask during CR. Cardiac telerehabilitation was only conducted by a limited number of facilities (8%), because this method was still under development. In our survey, 30% of the facilities not providing cardiac telerehabilitation had specific plans for its future use. Conclusions:
Our data demonstrate that ambulatory CR and CPX were suspended to avoid the spread of COVID-19. In the future, we need to consider CR resumption and develop new technologies for cardiovascular patients, including cardiac telerehabilitation.
