Background
The REHAB‐HF (Rehabilitation Therapy in Older Acute Heart Failure Patients) randomized trial demonstrated that a 3‐month transitional, tailored, progressive, multidomain physical rehabilitation intervention improves physical function, frailty, depression, and health‐related quality of life among older adults with acute decompensated heart failure. Whether there is differential intervention efficacy by race is unknown.
Methods and Results
In this prespecified analysis, differential intervention effects by race were explored at 3 months for physical function (Short Physical Performance Battery [primary outcome], 6‐Minute Walk Distance), cognition, depression, frailty, health‐related quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, EuroQoL 5‐Dimension‐5‐Level Questionnaire) and at 6 months for …
