Patients who participated in Phase II multidisciplinary North Carolina CR programs and completed the protocol improved QOL parameters. While men had higher physical function and overall QOL scores both pre- and post-CR, women showed greater improvements in overall scores, as well as in family and socioeconomic parameters. These findings suggest that North Carolina CR patients experience a positive change in QOL following short-term participation in CR. Further study with a larger number of patients benchmarked with programs from other regions with comparisons to patients who do not participate in formalized CR programs is indicated from this investigation.
