A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation☆

TL;DR: The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of a combined comorbidity index.

TL;DR: The estimated relative risk of death from an increase of one in the comorbidity score proved approximately equal to that from an additional decade of age.

An overview of randomized trials of rehabilitation with exercise after myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: The observed 20% reduction in overall mortality reflects a decreased risk of cardiovascular mortality and fatal reinfarction throughout at least 3 years and a reduction in sudden death during the 1st year after infarction and possibly for 2-3 years.

Referral patterns and exercise response in the rehabilitation of female coronary patients aged ≥62 years

TL;DR: Gender-related differences in cardiac rehabilitation referral patterns and response to an aerobic conditioning program were examined in 226 hospitalized older coronary patients, finding older female coronary patients are less likely to be referred for cardiac rehabilitation, despite a similar clinical profile and improvement in functional capacity from the training component.

Economic evaluation of cardiac rehabilitation soon after acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: Comprehensive costs and health-related quality of life, measured with the time trade-off preference score, and together with survival data derived from published meta-analyses, cost-utility and cost-effectiveness of early cardiac rehabilitation were estimated.
