Patients who participated in in-home cardiac rehabilitation had fewer hospitalizations over 12 months than patients who participated in center-based cardiac rehabilitation, according to a Kaiser Permanente study published, in JAMA Network Open.
This study tracked 2,556 patients who participated in cardiac rehabilitation from April 1, 2018, to April 30, 2019. The patients had a mean age of 67 and were about 30% women and 45% nonwhite, and 47% had a combination of health factors that would put them in a medically high-risk category.
In the study, 48.5% of patients participated in home-based cardiac rehabilitation and 51.5% participated in center-based cardiac rehabilitation.
Patients who participated in home-based cardiac rehabilitation had a 21% less chance of experiencing hospitalization in the 12 months after cardiac rehab compared to patients who participated in center-based rehabilitation, but similar: Adherence to beta blockers and statins, Control of blood pressure, Low-density lipoprotein, LDL-cholesterol, and Hemoglobin HbA1c.
Patients who participated in home-based cardiac rehabilitation typically lived farther from their nearest available center-based rehabilitation center. Patients who participated in home-based cardiac rehabilitation were more likely to complete their program.
