Article Abstract
Background: Cardiac, pulmonary, and intensive care unit (ICU) rehabilitation/recovery programs are health promotion interventions designed to improve physical recovery, psychological well-being, and quality of life after acute illness while reducing the risk of adverse events.
Objective: Identify the difference in attendance rates for patients invited to a cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation, or ICU recovery program and factors influencing attendance.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and manual reference lists from inception to June 3, 2024. We included studies reporting patient attendance rates in eligible programs following acute illness hospitalization. Two team members independently screened articles and extracted data, with a third member reviewing and achieving consensus when necessary. Our main outcomes focused on the proportion of attendance in eligible programs among patients referred.
Results: Of 3,446 studies screened, 179 studies (N = 4,779,012 patients) were included across cardiac rehabilitation (n = 153 studies), pulmonary rehabilitation (n = 11 studies), and ICU recovery (n = 15 studies) programs. Pooled attendance rates were 53 % (95 % CI: 48-57 %) for cardiac rehabilitation, 56 % (95 % CI: 42-70 %) for pulmonary rehabilitation, and 61 % (95 % CI: 51-70 %) for ICU recovery programs. Significant attendance heterogeneity was present (cardiac I=100 %, p < 0.001; pulmonary I=100 %, p < 0.001; ICU I=94 %, p < 0.01). Barriers to attendance included transportation, distance, work conflicts, and patient factors (e.g., comorbidities, older age). Facilitators included male gender, younger age, higher education, income, provider recommendations, and flexible scheduling. Individual factors represented the primary domain affecting attendance.
Conclusions: The results indicate comparable attendance rates and factors shaping attendance across acute illness rehabilitation/recovery programs, with ICU recovery programs being the most well-attended on average.

Background: Young people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa account for the largest proportion of the vulnerable population in the world. Kenya has little evidence to showcase the utilization of sexual and reproductive health services among young people living with HIV. Nairobi County has one of the highest HIV burdens among adolescents and youth in the country.

Evaluation of outcomes for patients with nitrous oxide-related myeloneuropathy treated with self-injection of hydroxocobalamin versus nurse-led injections on an ambulatory care pathway.

Background: Nitrous oxide (N₂O)-related neurotoxicity is a significant public health concern among young people in the UK. Recognition necessitates timely diagnosis, abstinence from N₂O consumption and replacement of vitamin B12, usually via intramuscular (IM) hydroxocobalamin. This service development project evaluated a self-injection programme (SIP) compared with a nurse-led approach, within an established ambulatory care pathway, with the aim of improving treatment adherence and completion.

Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Ghent University, Belgium.
Background: INTERASPIRE was an observational study of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) from 88 hospitals in 14 countries across all six WHO regions. The objective was to describe the proportions of patients referred to and attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes and to compare lifestyle and risk factor target achievement according to participation in a CR programme.
Methods: Patients 18-80 years of age, with a first or recurrent coronary hospitalisation (acute coronary syndrome and/or revascularisation procedure) were identified and invited to an interview and examination, between six months and two years after the index hospitalisation.
