Cost-effectiveness of Outpatient Versus Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation

NCT01567189 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 138

Last updated 2012-03-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypothesis is that home based clinical rehabilitation (CR) is less expensive than hospital based CR with similar clinical effectiveness. The investigators will compare the results of two forms of CR on

1. direct and indirect healthcare costs
2. effectiveness on mortality, morbidity, modifiable risk factors control, functional capacity measured by exercise testing, health related quality of life and satisfaction rate
3. cost/effectiveness analysis

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cardiac rehabilitation

* Training sessions: 8 weeks of supervised physical training sessions. Stress intensity will be calculated from the peak heart rate reached during stress test: 60-70% during the first month and 70-85% during the second one. Patients will be advised to do at least 1 hour of outdoor exercise with the same intensity on the days when they do not attend hospital. * Health education sessions and relaxation sessions: one per week. * Smoking and diet checking: as recommended by doctor.

BEHAVIORAL

Cardiac rehabilitation

The only difference in the hospital's program is that training sessions will be out of hospital with the same target heart rate that in this case will be controlled with pulsometer or Borg scale. The recommended frequency of sessions will be: at least 5 days a week with a minimum of 1 hour / day.
