Es war Ziel der Studie, die in einem Zeitraum von 2 Jahren aufgenommen Rehabilitanden (n=387) einer gesetzlichen Krankenkasse, aufgeteilt in jeweils eine Gruppe selbstversorgender und versorgungsaufwandiger Patienten, bezuglich ihrer Unterschiede in dem Rehabilitationsergebnis zu uberprufen. Methodik: In Abhangigkeit des Versorgungsaufwandes wurde das Rehabilitationsergebnis sowie Unterschiede im Verlauf hinsichtlich der korperlichen Leistungsfahigkeit, des emotionalen Status und der Aktivitaten des taglichen Lebens, gemessen an Barthelindex, FIM-Index, HADS-Werten, Komplikationen, Funktionsuntersuchungen, Belastungstests, Rehabilitationsdauer und Entlassungsform, gepruft. Ergebnisse: Die in Hinblick auf medizinischen, pflegerischen und therapeutischen Aufwand versorgungsaufwandigen Patienten waren alter, langer im Krankenhaus und in der Rehabilitation, sie hatten mehr Komplikationen und deutlich mehr Begleiterkrankungen. Sie wurden haufiger ins Akutkrankenhaus verlegt. Sie hatten eine hohere Steigerungsrate der Selbstversorgungsindices und eine relevante Steigerung bei den Belastungstests. Schlussfolgerung: Ein hoher Versorgungsaufwand multimorbider kardiologischer Patienten ist keine Kontraindikation gegen eine Rehabilitation, da auch bei dieser Patientengruppe die tragerspezifischen Rehabilitationsziele erreicht wurden. Abstract Introduction: There are hardly any publications about the outcome of cardiac rehabilitation considering patients with an increased need for medical, nursing and therapeutic care. The aim of this study, which consecutively included n=387 statutory health insurance inpatients over a period of 2 years, was to find out differences in outcome in self-care patients (Barthel index>70) as compared to patients with a need for complex care (Barthel index70). Methods: Rehabilitation outcomes concerning physical capacity, emotional status and activities of daily living as measured by Barthel index, FIM index, HADS, clinical complications, exercise test, duration of rehabilitation and form of dismission were analyzed and compared between both groups. Results: The inpatients with a Barthel index 70 at admission were older, had a longer stay in hospital and in rehabilitation, developed more complications and more often suffered from concomitant diseases. They were readmitted to hospital more often. They showed a comparatively higher increase in indices of self-care and a significant increase in physical performance tests. Conclusion: Higher medical care expenses of multimorbid cardiac inpatients are no contraindication against rehabilitation, because even in this group the specific rehabilitation aims of the healthcare payers can be reached.

The aim of a cardiac rehabilitation is to improve overall physical health, psychological well-being, physical function, the ability to participate in social life and help patients to change their habits. Regarding the heterogeneity of these aims measuring of the effect of cardiac rehabilitation is still a challenge. This study recommends a concept to assess the effects of cardiac rehabilitation regarding the individual change of relevant quality indicators. Methods: With EVA-Reha; cardiac rehabilitation the Medical Advisory Service of Statutory Health Insurance Funds in Rhineland-Palatinate, Alzey (MDK Rheinland-Pfalz) developed a software to collect data set including sociodemographic and diagnostic data and also the results of specific assessments. The project was funded by the Techniker Krankenkasse, Hamburg, and supported by participating rehabilitation centers. From 01. July 2010 to 30. June 2011 1309 patients (age 71.5 years, 76.1% men) from 13 rehabilitation centers were consecutively enrolled. 13 quality indicators in 3 scales were developed for evaluation of cardiac rehabilitation: 1) cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides), 2) exercise capacity (resting heart rate, maximal exercise capacity, maximal walking distance, heart failure [NYHA classification], and angina pectoris [CCS classification]) and 3) subjective health (IRES-24: pain, somatic health, psychological wellbeing and depression as well as anxiety on the HADS). The study was prospective; data of patients were assessed at entry and discharge of rehabilitation. To measure the success of rehabilitation each parameter was graded in severity classes at entry and discharge. For each of the 13 quality indicators changes of severity class were rated in a rating matrix. For indicators without a requirement for medical care neither at entry nor at discharge no rating was performed. Results: The grading into severity classes as well as the minimal important differences were given for the 13 quality indicators. The result of rehabilitation can be demonstrated in suitable form by means of rating of the 13 quality indicators according to a clinical population. The rating model differs well between clinically changed and unchanged patients for the quality indicators. Conclusion: The result of cardiac rehabilitation can be assessed with 13 quality indicators measured at entry and discharge of the rehabilitation program. If a change into a more favorable category at the end of rehabilitation could be achieved it was counted as a success. The 13 quality indicators can be used to assess the individual result as well as the result of a population - e.g. all patients of a clinic in a specific time period. In addition, the assessment and rating of relevant quality indicators can be used for comparisons of rehabilitation centers.
