Completion of cardiac rehabilitation following an admission for coronary heart disease (CC

European data on the proportion of patients who completed a cardiac rehabilitation program within one year of a hospital admission for coronary heart disease. The dataset provides percentages with 95% confidence intervals and is published by the Government Digital Service. The current version was updated in December 2016.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking cardiac rehabilitation completion rates across different regions or providers based on the reported percentages.
• Analyzing trends in post-hospitalization care adherence for coronary heart disease patients over time.
• Modeling factors influencing successful program completion using the confidence interval data for uncertainty estimation.

Strengths

• Includes 95% confidence intervals, which allows for statistical uncertainty assessment.
• Data is sourced from the Government Digital Service, suggesting an official administrative origin.
• Metrics are defined for a specific 365-day follow-up period, providing a standardized outcome measure.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• The last update was in 2016, and the next version due date (2017) has passed, indicating the data may be stale.
