Abstract

This prospective study evaluated the effect of an individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program combining exercise training with risk factor modification and psychosocial counseling on risk factors, psychological well-being, functional capacity, and work resumption in 99 post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) patients randomized to control (standard care plus telephone follow-up, n=49) or intervention (individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation, n=50) groups. Data were collected at time 1 (T(1)) during hospital admission, time 2 (T(2)) approximately 2 months post-PCI, and time 3 (T(3)) approximately 12 months post-PCI. Results suggest that the allocation to an individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program provided more advantageous outcomes. At both follow-ups, the intervention group showed within-group improvement in serum cholesterol levels (P<0.02; P<0.01) and exercise participation (P<0.001; P<0.001) with differences in exercise participation favoring the intervention group (P<0.01) at T(2). Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant improvements over time in body mass index (BMI) (P<0.01), psychological well-being (P<0.001), and functional capacity (P<0.001) for both groups. More patients in the intervention group had returned to work at T(2) (P<0.001) and did so more quickly (P<0.01). These findings suggest that an individualized, comprehensive, home-based cardiac rehabilitation program improves risk factor profiles and work resumption patterns for patients following PCI.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 September 2018.
All research outputs
#8,534,976
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Patient Education & Counseling
#1,836
of 4,167 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#14,149
of 41,876 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Patient Education & Counseling
#3
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,167 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 41,876 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
