“…Cardiac patients who are able to resume work demonstrate fewer symptoms of anxiety or depression, while those who are not able to RTW see a continuously increasing depression score (4). Several studies claim that work effort may improve physical condition (7). Warraich et al (6) found that unemployment could cause financial hardship and, in turn, may worsen the medical outcomes of the patients in the long term.…”

Objective: To explore machine learning models for predicting return to work after cardiac rehabilitation.Subjects: Patients who were admitted to the University of Malaya Medical Centre due to cardiac events.Methods: Eight different machine learning models were evaluated. The models included 3 different sets of features: full features; significant features from multiple logistic regression; and features selected from recursive feature extraction technique. The performance of the prediction models with each set of features was compared.Results: The AdaBoost model with the top 20 features obtained the highest performance score of 92.4% (area under the curve; AUC) compared with other prediction models.

“…They are complex processes, conditioned by clinical and functional aspects (residual ischemia, left ventricular ejection fraction, effort tolerance, arrhythmic risk), interacting with psychological, socio-demographic and occupational (exposure to noxious agents, work and night shifts, commuting) factors. Therefore, in order to promote a permanent and secure reintegration, return to work should take place after a multidimensional assessment that analyses the possible interference of these factors [6][7][8].…”

Our Institute adopts a multidisciplinary protocol named “CardioWork” for work resumption after invasive cardiac procedures and subsequent rehabilitation: after evaluation of the cardiac functional profile, the occupational physician analyses the work activity prior to the cardiopathological event, identifies the presumed task energy requirement (from specific, published tables), and compares it with the exercise test results. Indications regarding timing and modality of returning to work are formulated accordingly. To verify the reliability of the indications thus provided, we carried out a clinical-functional follow-up study in the workplace, with Holter ECG and Armband measurement of actual energy expenditure. Over the course of two years, we enrolled 36 patients (mostly males, aged between 30 and 70 years), hospitalized after coronary revascularization, valve replacement or cardiac defibrillator implant. After rehabilitation, instrumental diagnostics (Holter ECG, echocardiography, exercise test) showed discrete functional conditions, with better values with regard to cardiac function than exercise capacity and effort tolerance. All subjects were judged fit for the job, in most cases with limitations concerning ergonomic factors, working timetable and/or stress. They returned to work quickly, with good adherence to the indications provided. Workplace Holter ECG did not show appreciable differences compared to the hospital evaluation. In one case, the average energy expenditure measured while working was higher than that inferred from the tables; in the remaining subjects, the actual expenditure coincided with what was expected or was lower. In a minority of cases (39%), the measured average expenditure slightly exceeded the optimal value (35% of the maximal value at the exercise test) recommended at the time of hospital discharge. At the end of the workplace evaluation, it was not necessary to formulate new indications. The study provides further evidence of the effectiveness of the CardioWork protocol in promoting return to work after invasive heart procedures. Though they need continuous updating, the published estimates of presumed task energy requirement remain reliable. In particularly complex cases, it is however advisable to carry out a field check of the ergometric assessments performed at the end of rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is amongst the top three leading causes of mortality in South Africa and the world. The effects of cardiovascular disease can be seen in limitations of function within all spheres of life, including work function. Cardiac rehabilitation programs have been documented to improve functional abilities, however further research is required with regard to activity limitation, participation restrictions, facilitators, and barriers of return to work, after cardiac rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study aimed to determine and explore the barriers and enablers of return to work for individuals with cardiovascular disease who completed a cardiac rehabilitation program in the Western Cape, South Africa. The qualitative exploration was part of a study that resulted in a return-to-work program for individuals with cardiac disease. METHOD: Qualitative methodology was employed for this study. Semi-structured interviews were used with 10 participants that attended a cardiac rehabilitation program. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data was completed. RESULTS: The participants described the barriers and facilitators of their return-to-work process and the factors that were of critical importance in the resumption of the worker role or the result of unemployment. The four major themes were 1) Cardiac conditions negatively affect function, 2) Being unemployed, 3) Participation in ADLs and lifestyle modification enhances one’s activity levels, and 4) Return to work. CONCLUSION: Lifestyle modification and reasonable accommodation enable a successful return to work after a cardiac incident.
