Factors Associated With Non-enrollment of Center-Based Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Program Among Transient Ischemic Attack or Mild Stroke Patients: A MIXED-METHOD RETROSPECTIVE STUDY.

CONCLUSIONS: This study found that patients with TIA or mild stroke who were older, lived farther from the CRP center, or were current smokers were less likely to enroll in a CRP. The present findings may help clinicians identify patients unlikely to enroll in a CRP and allow the implementation of interventions focused on health education and physical activity to improve enrollment. Future research should validate these factors in multiple settings using prospective mixed methods so that interventions can be developed to address non-enrollment in the CRP.
