To what extent is socioeconomic status associated with not taking up and dropout from cardiac rehabilitation: a population-based follow-up study by Thomas Maribo, Christina M Stapelfeldt, Marie Louise Svendsen, Birgitte Bitsch Gadager, Maiken Bay Ravn, Sanne Moeller Palner

“…Patients were followed up regarding no uptake of or dropout from CR in the primary healthcare setting.Statistical methods The associations between the four SES indicators and either no uptake or dropout from CR were analysed using logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex, nationality and comorbidity.Results Overall, 25% (n=507) of the referred patients did not take up CR and 24% (n=377) of the participators dropped out the CR. All adjusted ORs, except one (education/dropout) demonstrated that low SES compared with high are statistically significantly associated with higher odds of not taking up CR and dropout from CR. …”
