Sex differences in completion of a 12-month cardiac rehabilitation programme: an analysis of 5922 women and men
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The reasons for greater premature withdrawal from cardiac rehabilitation programmes (CRP) in women compared with men and differences in baseline predictors of withdrawal have not been extensively studied.
METHODS: Reasons for withdrawal from a 12-month CRP in 1089 women and 4833 men were ascertained by interview. Regression analysis was used to determine demographic and baseline medical conditions that predicted noncompletion.
