Analysis of FIM instrument scores for patients admitted to an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program

2011 ACCF/AHA Focused Update Incorporated Into the ACC/AHA 2007 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Unstable Angina/Non–ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

“…717 Patients with high pre-event functional independence measurement have a shorter length of stay and a greater likelihood of discharge to home. 718 Pre-event peak aerobic capacity and depression score are the best independent predictors of postevent physical function. Women tend to have lower physical function scores than men of similar age, depression score, and comorbidity.…”
