Association of cardiac rehabilitation with decreased hospitalization and mortality risk after cardiac valve surgery.
Investigators sought to characterize cardiac rehabilitation (CR) enrollment after cardiac valve surgery and its association with outcomes, including hospitalizations and mortality. Subjects were all fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries undergoing open cardiac valve surgery in 2014, identified by inpatient diagnosis codes for open aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve surgery. They found that fewer than half of Medicare beneficiaries undergoing cardiac valve surgery enrolled in CR programs, and there were marked racial/ethnic disparities among those who do. They recommend further study on barriers to CR enrollment in this population.

Predictors of 30-day readmission following inpatient rehabilitation for patients at high risk for hospital readmission.
The purpose of this study was to identify variables in the full administrative medical record, particularly in regard to physical function, that could help clinicians further discriminate between patients who are and are not likely to be readmitted to an acute care hospital within 30 days of rehabilitation discharge. It found that functional outcomes and rehabilitation length of stay were the best predictors of 30-day rehospitalization.
