Predictors of Cardiac Rehabilitation Participation: OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT
Conclusions:
Lack of CR referral, lower educational attainment, nonsurgical diagnosis, current smoking, and reduced ejection fraction can predict patients at a highest risk of CR nonparticipation. Specific interventions such as electronic referral and a strong in-person recommendation from a medical provider may enhance CR participation rates.
