International Cardiac Rehabilitation Registry (ICRR) Protocol
The ICRR is a health services registry to establish the quality of CR delivery, and the effectiveness in terms of patient outcomes, in low-resource settings. The purposes of the registry are care optimization, evidentiary support for CR advocacy / policy, and research.
All programs in low-resource settings will be welcome to participate at no cost. Programs will follow procedures approved by their local ethics board for collection of program and patient-reported variables. Assessments occur pre-cardiac rehabilitation (CR), post-CR and annually thereafter.
Inclusion: SITES:; CR program (defined in intervention section); in low-resource setting (i.e., low or middle-income country according to World Bank, or in region within a higher-income country where there is under-development of CR related to financial resources, lack of healthcare system resources, lack of patient and provider awareness, and/or patient disadvantage [e.g., limited social resources, geographic barriers]).
Exclusion: SITES:; -program cannot enter data in English; PATIENTS:; not capable to understand the registry information letter for cognitive or mental reasons (although they would also likely be excluded from CR); not proficient in the language of the local ethics-approved registry information letter /consent form.
