Variation in Cardiac Rehabilitation Participation During Aortic Valve Replacement Episodes of Care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

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).

Methods

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 w
