Despite the epidemic of cardiovascular disease and benefits cardiac rehabilitation (CR), availability is known to be insufficient, although this not quantified. This study ascertained CR availability, volumes its drivers, density.
BackgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a clinically-effective but complex model of care. The purpose this study was to characterize the nature CR programs around world, in relation guideline recommendations, and compare by World Health Organization (WHO) region.MethodsIn cross-sectional study, piloted survey administered online globally. Cardiac associations local champions facilitated program identification. Quality (benchmark ≥75% given country meeting each 20 indicators) ranked. Results...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) availability, programme characteristics and barriers are not well-known in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). In this study, they were compared with high-income (HICs) by CR funding source.A cross-sectional online survey was administered to programmes globally. Need for computed using incident ischaemic heart disease (IHD) estimates from the Global Burden of Disease study. General linear mixed models performed.CR identified 55/138 (39.9%) LMICs; 47/55 (85.5%...
Despite documented benefits of cardiac rehabilitation, adherence to programs is suboptimal with an average dropout rate between 24% and 50%. The goal this study was identify organizational patient factors associated rehabilitation adherence.Facilities the Wisconsin Cardiac Rehabilitation Outcomes Registry Project (N = 38) were surveyed records 4412 enrolled patients analyzed. Generalized estimating equations used account for clustering within facilities. results show that significantly...
The aims of this study were to establish cardiac rehabilitation availability and density, as well the nature programmes, compare these by European region (geoscheme) with other high-income countries.A survey was administered programmes globally. Cardiac associations engaged facilitate programme identification. Density computed using global burden disease ischaemic heart incidence estimates. Four countries selected for comparison (N = 790 programmes) data, multilevel analyses...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended in clinical practice guidelines, but dose prescribed varies highly by country. This study characterized the offered supervised CR programs and alternative models worldwide their potential correlates.In this cross-sectional study, an online survey was administered to globally. associations local champions facilitated program identification. Countries were classified based on region income categories. Dose operationalized as duration×sessions per...
Premarital screening (PMS) is a primary preventive measure to decrease the incidence of certain genetic disorders and sexually transmitted diseases. This study aimed explore knowledge perception attitude toward PMS predictors attitude. A cross-sectional was conducted among Qatar University students using an online survey. Multivariable regression analyses were used identify factors associated with total 476 participated in study; 424 (89.1%) females; two-thirds 18–21 years old. Only 100...
Alternative models of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) delivery, such as home or community-based programs, have been developed to overcome underutilization. However, their availability and characteristics never assessed globally. In this cross-sectional study, a piloted survey was administered online CR programs available in 111/203 (54.7%) countries globally; data were collected 93 (83.8% country response rate). 1082 surveys (32.1% program rate) initiated. Globally, 85 (76.6%) with offered...
Despite the high burden of cardiovascular diseases in Arab countries, little is known about cardiac rehabilitation (CR) delivery. This study assessed availability, and CR program characteristics World, compared to Canada. A questionnaire incorporating items from 4 national / regional published surveys was created for this cross-sectional study. The survey emailed all contacts that were identified through studies, conference abstracts, a snowball sampling strategy, other key informants 22...
BackgroundHypertensive heart disease (HHD), one of the end-organ damage consequences hypertension, is an important public health issue worldwide. Data on HHD burden in Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR) are scarce. We aimed to investigate EMR, its member countries, and globally from 1990 2019.MethodsWe used 2019 Global Burden Disease (GBD) data report age-standardised prevalence, disability adjusted life years (DALYs), lost (YLLs), mortality, as well risk factors attribution percent with...
<title>Abstract</title> Objective: Obesity, defined using body mass index, is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and dyslipidemia. However, global anthropometric thresholds like those established by the World Health Organization (WHO) may inadequately capture health risks associated with obesity in specific populations. This study aimed to derive population- sex-specific cut-points better predict CVD assess misclassification among Qatari adults. Methods: Using...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is underutilized despite well-documented benefits for patients with coronary heart disease. The purpose of this study was to identify organizational and patient factors associated CR enrollment.Facilities the Wisconsin Rehabilitation Outcomes Registry (N = 38) were surveyed, records referred analyzed. Generalized estimating equations used account clustering within facilities.Of 6874 38 facilities, 67.6% (n 4,644) enrolled in CR. Patients receiving artery bypass...
<strong>Introduction:</strong> The International Council of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (ICCPR) is developing a registry (ICRR) specifically for low-resource settings, where the burden cardiovascular diseases greatest need program development highest. Herein we describe process, including variable selection process. <strong>Method: </strong>Following literature search on best practices, stepwise model ICRR was identified. Then, based recommendations by Core Outcome...
<strong>Background:</strong> Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recommended in clinical practice guidelines for comprehensive secondary prevention. While India has a high burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), availability and nature services delivered there unknown. In this study, we undertook analysis the Indian data from global CR audit survey, conducted by International Council Cardiovascular Prevention Rehabilitation (ICCPR). <strong>Methods:</strong> cross-sectional an online survey was...
