Despite reported benefit in the setting of aortic valve replacement (AVR), cardiac rehabilitation (CR) utilization remains low, with few studies evaluating hospital and patient-level variation in CR participation. We explored determinants of CR variability during AVR episodes of care: transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
A cohort of 10 124 AVR episodes of care (TAVR n=5121 from 24 hospitals; SAVR n=5003 from 32 hospitals) were identified from the Michigan Value Collaborative statewide multipayer registry (2015-2019). CR enrollment was defined as the presence of a single professional or facility claim within 90 days of discharge: 93 797, 93 798, G0422, G0423. Annual trends and hospital variation in CR were described for TAVR, SAVR, and all AVR. Multilevel logistic regression was used to estimate effects of predictors and hospital risk-adjusted rates of CR enrollment.
Overall, 4027 (39.8%) patients enrolled in CR, with significant differences by treatment strategy: SAVR=50.9%, TAVR=28.9% (<0.001). CR use after SAVR was significantly higher than after TAVR and increased over time for both modalities (<0.001). There were significant differences in CR enrollment across age, gender, payer, and some comorbidities (<0.05). At the hospital level, CR participation rates for all AVR varied 10-fold (4.8% to 68.7%) and were moderately correlated between SAVR and TAVR (Pearson =0.56, <0.01).
Substantial variation exists in CR participation during AVR episodes of care across hospitals. However, within-hospital CR participation rates were significantly correlated across treatment strategies. These findings suggest that CR participation is the product of hospital-specific practice patterns. Identifying hospital practices associated with higher CR participation can help assist future quality improvement efforts to increase CR use after AVR.
尽管有报道称主动脉瓣置换术(AVR)有获益,但心脏康复(CR)的利用率仍然较低,很少有研究评估医院和患者层面参与 CR 的差异。我们探讨了 AVR 治疗期间 CR 变异性的决定因素:经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)和外科主动脉瓣置换术(SAVR)。
从密歇根州价值协作全州多支付方登记处(2015-2019 年)中确定了 10124 例 AVR 治疗期(24 家医院的 TAVR 5121 例;32 家医院的 SAVR 5003 例)。CR 登记定义为出院后 90 天内有单一专业或机构的索赔:93797、93798、G0422、G0423。描述了 TAVR、SAVR 和所有 AVR 的年度趋势和医院变异。使用多水平逻辑回归估计预测因子和医院风险调整的 CR 登记率的影响。
总体而言,4027 例(39.8%)患者登记参加了 CR,两种治疗策略之间存在显著差异:SAVR=50.9%,TAVR=28.9%(<0.001)。SAVR 后 CR 的使用率明显高于 TAVR,并且两种方式的使用率都随着时间的推移而增加(<0.001)。在年龄、性别、支付方和一些合并症方面存在 CR 登记的差异(<0.05)。在医院层面,所有 AVR 的 CR 参与率差异达 10 倍(4.8%至 68.7%),SAVR 和 TAVR 之间存在中度相关性(Pearson=0.56,<0.01)。
在 AVR 治疗期间,医院之间的 CR 参与度存在很大差异。然而,治疗策略之间的院内 CR 参与率存在显著相关性。这些发现表明,CR 参与是医院特定实践模式的产物。确定与更高的 CR 参与率相关的医院实践可以帮助协助未来提高 AVR 后 CR 使用率的质量改进工作。
