Description
Summary:Despite the well-established benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), participation in CR remain low. Virtual CR programs present a unique opportunity to promote utilization. To date, few virtual CR cohorts have been analyzed for compliance. This study aims to determine factors that predict compliance within a large virtual CR program in the United States. We analyzed 1409 patients enrolled in the Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic States Virtual CR program that consists of 12 CR sessions via telephone. Demographic characteristics, as well as body weight, blood pressure, HbA1c level, and smoking status were collected at admission. Patients were further classified by CVD diagnosis codes. Compliance was defined as at least 75% (9/12 sessions) attendance. Data was analyzed using simple and multiple regression models with significance defined as P
