TY - JOUR A1 - Röhrig, Bernd A1 - Salzwedel, Annett A1 - Linck-Eleftheriadis, Sigrid A1 - Völler, Heinz A1 - Nosper, Manfred T1 - Outcome Based Center Comparisons in Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Results from the EVA-Reha (R) Cardiology Project JF - Die Rehabilitation : Zeitschrift für Praxis und Forschung in der Rehabilitation N2 - Background: So far, for center comparisons in inpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR), the objective outcome quality was neglected because of challenges in quantifying the overall success of CR. In this article, a multifactorial benchmark model measuring the individual rehabilitation success is presented. Methods: In 21 rehabilitation centers, 5 123 patients were consecutively enrolled between 01/2010 and 12/2012 in the prospective multicenter registry EVA-Reha (R) Cardiology. Changes in 13 indicators in the areas cardiovascular risk factors, physical performance and subjective health during rehabilitation were evaluated according to levels of severity. Changes were only rated for patients who needed a medical intervention. Additionally, the changes had to be clinically relevant. Therefore Minimal Important Differences (MID) were predefined. Ratings were combined to a single score, the multiple outcome criterion (MEK). Results: The MEK was determined for all patients (71.7 +/- 7.4 years, 76.9 % men) and consisted of an average of 5.6 indicators. After risk adjustment for sociodemographic and clinical baseline parameters, MEK was used for center ranking. In addition, individual results of indicators were compared with means of all study sites. Conclusion: With the method presented here, the outcome quality can be quantified and outcome-based comparisons of providers can be made.

V. (DGPR) JF - Die Rehabilitation : Zeitschrift für Praxis und Forschung in der Rehabilitation N2 - Ziel der Studie Die vorliegende Untersuchung beinhaltete die explorative Erfassung potenzieller Indikatoren der Ergebnisqualität der kardiologischen Rehabilitation (CR) für Patienten unter 65 Jahren. Methoden In einer 4-stufigen webbasierten Delphi-Befragung (04-07/2016) von in der CR tätigen Ärzten[2] , Psychologen und Sport-/Physiotherapeuten wurden Parameter der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit, der Sozialmedizin, der subjektiven Gesundheit und kardiovaskuläre Risikofaktoren hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung als Qualitätsindikator bewertet. Ergebnisse Von 44 vorgegebenen wie auch von den Teilnehmern vorgeschlagenen Parametern wurden 21 Parameter (48%), die Hälfte davon psychosoziale Faktoren, als potenzielle Qualitätsindikatoren ausgewählt, wobei lediglich für das Rauchverhalten, den Blutdruck, das LDL-Cholesterin und die max. Belastbarkeit im Belastungs-EKG ein Konsens (Zustimmung>75% der Befragten) erzielt wurde. Schlussfolgerung Die Wahl der Qualitätsindikatoren durch die Experten erfolgte mehrheitlich mit nur geringer Einigkeit. Eine klinische und wissenschaftliche Evaluierung der gewählten Parameter ist daher zwingend erforderlich. N2 - Objective The present investigation aimed an explorative acquisition of potential performance measures for quantifying the quality of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for patients under 65 years of age. Methods A 4-level web based Delphi survey of physicians, psychologists, and sports or physiotherapists in CR was conducted from April to July in 2016. The experts assessed several parameters of physical performance, social medicine, subjective health and cardiovascular risk factors regarding their suitability as performance measures of CR. Results Of the 44 predetermined as well as by the participants proposed parameters, 21 parameters (48%) were selected as potential performance measures. Half of these were psychosocial factors. Merely, smoking habits, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol and maximum capacity on exercise-ECG achieved a consensus (agreement>75% of the respondents). Conclusions The experts’ choice of performance measures was little consistent. Therefore, a clinical investigation and scientific evaluation of the predefined parameters is essential.
