Effect of a postoperative telephone intervention on attendance at intake for cardiac rehabilitation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Abstract
Background Enrollment in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is suboptimal (25%-30%).Objectives The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a nurse-initiated telephone call (NIC) on attendance at a CR intake appointment.Methods By using a retrospective cohort design, data were collected on 3536 patients who underwent CABG between April 1996 and March 2000 and were referred to CR. Of these, 2285 patients received standard care (no NIC) and 1251 received the NIC.Results Patients who received the NIC were significantly more likely to attend their CR intake appointment compared with standard care (78.1% vs. 50.1%; P < .0001). Hierarchic logistic regression analysis revealed the NIC as the strongest predictor of attendance at a CR intake explaining 56.9% of the total variance (odds ratio =3.429; 95% confidence interval = 2.919-4.028; P < .0001).Conclusion These findings suggest that pre-appointment telephone contact by a cardiovascular nurse is a valuable tool to enhance attendance at a CR intake appointment after CABG.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
