Integrating patients with intermittent claudication into an established cardiac rehabilitation programme: a feasibility study with embedded pilot

The Excel spreadsheet contains the raw data for the research project “Integrating patients with intermittent claudication into an established cardiac rehabilitation programme: a feasibility study with embedded pilot.”This study aimed to assess the feasibility of integrating patients with intermittent claudication (IC) into an established Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme (CRP), and to evaluate trial procedures, and to collect pilot data to guide the methodology for a future randomised control trial (RCT).A prospective, non-randomised controlled trial was conducted using two NHS hospitals. Feasibility was evaluated using a mixed methods approach, with quantitative measures including eligibility, consent, adherence, and adverse event rates, and qualitative interviews and focus groups assessed the acceptability among patients and service providers. Descriptive statistics, and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.People with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) were considered for inclusion if they were aged 18 or over, diagnosed with PAD within the past 12 months, and had not had previous treatment for PAD. People with coronary artery disease (CAD) were considered for inclusion if they were aged 18 or over, diagnosed with CAD in the past 12 months, and had no previous diagnosis of PAD. Of eligible IC patients referred to the integrated CRP, 24% (n=17) consented to participate in the trial. A total of 10 IC and CAD patients from the integrated CRP, and 10 CRP staff members took part in the qualitative component of the study.Participants diagnosed with PAD were referred to either an IC only rehabilitation programme or a novel integrated cardiovascular rehabilitation programme (CRP). Both programmes consisted of once-a-week session for twelve weeks incorporating exercise and educations.The spreadsheet includes (on separate tabs):Participant demographicsParticipant anthropometricsParticipant activity dataExercise test resultsQuality of life questionnairesThere is a separate Word document which provides an overview of the individual tabs and details about abbreviations used.This project did not recieve any funding and was part of a Professional Doctorate.

本Excel表格包含研究项目「将间歇性跛行（intermittent claudication, IC）患者纳入现有心脏康复项目（Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme, CRP）：一项嵌入试点的可行性研究」的原始数据。
本研究旨在评估将间歇性跛行患者纳入现有心脏康复项目的可行性，同时评估试验流程，并收集试点数据以指导未来随机对照试验（randomised control trial, RCT）的方法学设计。
本研究依托两家英国国民保健署（National Health Service, NHS）医院开展，采用前瞻性非随机对照试验设计。研究采用混合方法研究范式评估可行性：定量维度纳入入组资格、知情同意率、依从性及不良事件发生率等指标；定性维度则通过患者与服务提供者的半结构化访谈及焦点小组座谈，评估项目可接受性。数据分析采用描述性统计与主题分析法相结合的方式。
符合入组标准的症状性外周动脉疾病（peripheral artery disease, PAD）患者需满足：年龄18岁及以上，确诊PAD未满12个月，且既往未接受过PAD相关治疗。符合入组标准的冠状动脉疾病（coronary artery disease, CAD）患者需满足：年龄18岁及以上，确诊CAD未满12个月，且既往无PAD诊断史。
在被纳入整合型CRP的符合入组条件的IC患者中，24%（n=17）签署知情同意书参与本试验。共计10名来自整合型CRP的IC与CAD患者，以及10名CRP工作人员参与了本研究的定性部分。
被确诊为PAD的参与者将被分配至单纯IC康复项目，或新型整合型心血管康复项目（CRP）。两类项目均为每周1次，持续12周，包含运动训练与健康宣教内容。
