Objective: To identify clusters of patients according to changes in their physical behaviour during and after cardiac rehabilitation, and to predict cluster membership.
Methods: The study included 533 patients (mean age 57.9 years; 18.2% females) with a recent acute coronary syndrome who participated in a 12-week multi-disciplinary cardiac rehabilitation programme, within a cohort study design. Physical behaviour (light physical activity, moderate-to vigorous physical activity, step count, and sedentary behaviour) was measured using accelerometry at 4 timepoints. To identify clusters of patients according to changes in physical behaviour during and after cardiac rehabilitation, latent class trajectory modelling was applied. Baseline factors to predict cluster membership were assessed using multinomial logistic regression.
Results: During and after cardiac rehabilitation, 3 separate clusters were identified for all 4 physical behaviour outcomes: patients with steady levels (comprising 68–83% of the patients), and improving (6–21%) or deteriorating (4–23%) levels. Main predictor for membership to a specific cluster was baseline physical behaviour. Patients with higher starting physical behaviour were more likely to be a member of clusters with deteriorating levels.
Conclusion: Separate clusters of physical behaviour changes during and after cardiac rehabilitation could be identified. Clusters were mainly distinguished by baseline physical behaviour level.
LAY ABSTRACT
Physical behaviour is a construct including both physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Healthy levels of physical behaviour are important for cardiac patients. Cardiac rehabilitation programs are designed to promote a heart-healthy lifestyle for this group. Nevertheless, not all patients perform sufficient physical activity after cardiac rehabilitation. It is important to identify patients at risk for disappointing physical behaviour outcomes at an early stage to provide additional care. Outcomes of the current study show that cardiac patients can be clustered according to their change in physical behavior during and after cardiac rehabilitation. The majority showed steady levels and no improvements, but we could also identify groups of patients with improving and deteriorating levels. Patients with higher starting physical activity levels or low sedentary behaviour levels were more likely to be a member of clusters with deteriorating levels. These patients could benefit of additional interventions.
