Evaluación funcional del adulto mayor con enfermedad cardiovascular durante la hospitalización: Scoping Review / Funtional evaluation during hospitalization of older patients with cardiovascular disease

RESUMEN INTRODUCCIÓN: Un evento cardiovascular puede reducir o alterar la capacidad funcional de las personas y, por ende, afectar el desempeño adecuado en el ámbito físico, familiar, social y laboral. La OMS ha definido la salud de los adultos mayores por su capacidad funcional y no por sus limitaciones, discapacidades o enfermedades. Por lo tanto, la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores está estrechamente relacionada con la capacidad funcional y el conjunto de condiciones que le permiten participar en su propio autocuidado, en la vida social y familiar. OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este estudio es explorar la evidencia existente en la última década acerca de las pruebas y escalas de funcionalidad usadas en población adulta mayor con enfermedad cardiovascular durante su hospitalización y que reciben tratamiento de terapia física. MÉTODOS: Se usó la metodología Scoping Review, usando los términos DeCS/MeSH: cardiac, rehabilitation, cardiovascular disease, physical therapy, elderly, inpatient, y functionality. La revisión siguió el modelo PRISMA para ordenar y sintetizar los resultados. Las bases de datos consultadas fueron: Pubmed, Scielo, Sciencedirect y Scopus, Lilacs, PeDro. RESULTADOS: 20 artículos fueron seleccionados en los cuales se identificó que las escalas de valoración funcional más utilizadas fueron: caminata de 6 minutos, escala de independencia (FIM), Percepción de salud SF -36. CONCLUCIONES: La evidencia encontrada para guiar la rehabilitación física en paciente adulto mayor muestra cambios significativos en el incremento de la capacidad funcional.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: A cardiovascular event can reduce or alter the functional capacity of people affecting the physical capacity, and the performance in family, social and work environments. The WHO has defined the health of older adults by their functional capacity and not by their limitations, disabilities or illnesses. Therefore, the quality of life of older adults is closely related to the functional capacity and the set of conditions that allow them to participate in their own self-care, in social and family life. The aim of this study was to explore the existing evidence in the last decade about the tests and scales of functionality used in older adults with cardiovascular disease receiving physical therapy during hospitalization. METHODS: The Scoping Review methodology was used. Mesh and DeCS/MeSH terms included were cardiac, rehabilitation, cardiovascular disease, physical therapy, elderly, inpatient and functionality. The review followed the PRISMA model to sort and synthesize the results. The databases consulted were: Pubmed, Scielo, Science direct and Scopus, Lilacs, PeDro. RESULTS: 20 articles were selected in which it was identified that the most used functional assessment scales were: The 6-minute walk test, the Independence scale (FIM) and the Health Perception scale (SF-36). CONCLUSION: In older patients the functional tests identified allowed to detect significant improvements in functional capacity following cardiac rehabilitation.

The use of geographical analysis in assessing the impact of patients' home addresses on their participation in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation: a prospective cohort study

PURPOSE@#Geographical analysis is becoming a powerful tool for evaluating the quality of medical services and acquiring fundamental data for medical decision-making. Using geographical analysis, we evaluated the impact of the distance from patients' homes to the hospital on their participation in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (OCR).@*METHODS@#All patients hospitalized for percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, valvular surgery, congestive heart failure, and aortic diseases were advised to participate in an OCR program after discharge. Using the dataset of our cohort study of OCR from 2004 to 2015 (n = 9,019), we used geographical analysis to investigate the impact of the distance from patients' homes to hospital on their participation in our OCR program.@*RESULTS@#Patients whose road distance from home to hospital was 0-10 km, 10-20 km, and 20-30 km participated more in OCR than those whose road distance was ≧ 30 km (OR 4.34, 95% CI 3.80-4.96; OR 2.98, 95% CI 2.61-3.40; and OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.61-2.23, respectively). Especially in patients with heart failure, the longer the distance, the lesser the participation rate (P < .001).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Using geographical analysis, we successfully evaluated the factors influencing patients' participation in OCR. This illustrates the importance of using geographical analysis in future epidemiological and clinical studies.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#UMIN000028435.

Pre-Participation Physical Fitness does not Influence Adherence to a Supervised Exercise Program / Aptidão Física Pré-Participação não Influencia a Aderência a um Programa de Exercício Supervisionado

Abstract Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation tends to reduce mortality. However, it requires medium/long-term adherence to regular physical exercise. It is relevant to identify the variables that affect adherence to an supervised exercise program (SEP). Objective: To evaluate the influence of pre-participation levels of aerobic and non-aerobic physical fitness components in medium-term adherence to SEP. Methods: A total of 567 SEP participants (65 ± 12 years) (68% men) were studied. Participants adherent to the program for less than 6 months (48%) (non-adherent - NAD) were compared with 52% of participants who were adherent for 6 months or more (adherents - AD). In the non-aerobic fitness, flexibility (FLX) (Flexitest) and muscle power (MPW)/body weight in standing rowing (watts/kg) were evaluated while aerobic fitness was obtained by direct measure of VO2max/body weight (VO2). These measurements were normatized for sex and age based on percentiles (P) (P-FLX/P-MPW) of reference data or percentages of predicted (P-VO2). Additionally, AD and NAD with extreme results (tertiles) were simultaneously compared for the three variables. Results: There was no difference between AD and NAD for non-aerobic results, in median [P25-P75], P-FLX: 30 [13-56] and 31 [9-52], respectively, (p = 0.69) and P-MPW: 34 [17-58] and 36 [16-62], respectively (p = 0.96), and for aerobic results (mean ± standard error) P-VO2 (75.9 ± 1.3% and 75.0 ± 1.3%, respectively) (p = 0.83). When comparing extreme tertiles, a difference was found for P-MPW in the lower tertile only, with a slight advantage of AD over NAD- 9 [5-16] versus 4 [1-11] (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Although awareness of the pre-participation levels of aerobic and non-aerobic physical fitness components is useful for individualized exercise prescription, these variables do not seem to influence medium-term adherence to SEP.

Resumo Fundamento: Reabilitação cardíaca com ênfase em exercício tende a reduzir a mortalidade. Contudo, é necessário que haja aderência de médio/longo prazo ao exercício físico regular. Identificar variáveis influenciadoras da aderência a programas de exercício supervisionado (PES) é relevante. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência dos componentes da aptidão física aeróbica e não-aeróbica pré-participação na aderência de médio prazo a PES. Métodos: Foram estudados 567 participantes (65 ± 12 anos) (68% homens) de um PES. Os participantes aderentes por menos de 6 meses (48%) (não-aderentes - NAD) foram comparados aos 52% dos participantes aderentes por 6 meses ou mais (aderentes - AD). Na aptidão não-aeróbica avaliou-se flexibilidade (FLX) (Flexiteste) e potência muscular (PTO)/peso corporal na remada em pé (watts/kg). Na aeróbica foi medido o consumo máximo de oxigênio (VO2 máx)/peso corporal. Essas medidas foram normalizadas para sexo e idade usando percentis (P) (P-FLX/P-PTO) de dados de referência ou percentuais do previsto (P-VO2). Adicionalmente, foram comparados AD e NAD com resultados extremos (tercis) simultaneamente para as três variáveis. Resultados: Não houve diferença entre AD e NAD para os resultados não-aeróbicos, em mediana [P25-P75], de P-FLX: 30[13-56] e 31[9-52], respectivamente (p = 0,69), e P-PTO: 34[17-58] e 36[16-62] (p = 0,96), respectivamente, e para resultados aeróbicos (média ± erro padrão) P-VO2 (75,9 ± 1,3% e 75,0 ± 1,3%), respectivamente (p = 0,83). Nos extremos, houve diferença apenas para P-PTO no tercil inferior com discreta vantagem dos AD sobre NAD - 9[5-16] versus 4[1-11] (p = 0,04). Conclusão: Embora seja útil conhecer os níveis pré-participação dos componentes de aptidão física aeróbica e não-aeróbica para a prescrição individualizada de exercício, essas variáveis não parecem influenciar a aderência de médio prazo a PES.
