RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The conduct of systematic reviews (SRs) and overviews share several similarities. However, because the unit of analysis for overviews is the SRs, there are some unique challenges. One of the most critical issues to manage when conducting an overview is the overlap of data across the primary studies included in the SRs. This metaresearch study aimed to describe the frequency of strategies to manage the overlap in overviews of exercise-related interventions. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A systematic search in MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos, and other sources was conducted from inception to June 2022. We included overviews of SRs that considered primary studies and evaluated the effectiveness of exercise-related interventions for any health condition. The overviews were screened by two authors independently, and the extraction was performed by one author and checked by a second. We found 353 overviews published between 2005 and 2022 that met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-four overviews (46%) used at least one strategy to visualize, quantify, or resolve overlap, with a matrix (32/164; 20%), absolute frequency (34/164; 21%), and authors' algorithms (24/164; 15%) being the most used methods, respectively. From 2016 onwards, there has been a trend toward increasing the use of some strategies to manage overlap. Of the 108 overviews that used some strategy to resolve the overlap, ie, avoiding double or multiple counting of primary study data, 79 (73%) succeeded. In overviews where no strategies to manage overlap were reported (n = 189/353; 54%), 16 overview authors (8%) recognized this as a study limitation. CONCLUSION: Although there is a trend toward increasing its use, only half of the authors of the overviews of exercise-related interventions used a strategy to visualize, quantify, or resolve overlap in the primary studies' data. In the future, authors should report such strategies to communicate more valid results.

Introducción. Establecer un estilo de vida activo y saludable es uno de los objetivos más importantes y desafiantes de la rehabilitación cardíaca. Comprender el comportamiento de los patrones de actividad física (AF) en adultos que han sufrido un evento coronario y que han participado en un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca (RC) es necesario para evaluar su impacto y proponer estrategias oportunas en esta área. Objetivo. Evaluar el cumplimiento de la recomendación global de AF 1 año después de ingresar a un programa de RC para enfermedad arterial coronaria. Métodos. Se aplicó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física a adultos con enfermedad coronaria tratada a los 6 y 12 meses de su ingreso a un programa de Rehabilitación Cardíaca en 6 hospitales de Chile, entre mayo de 2019 y febrero de 2020 en el contexto del estudio aleatorizado. Se realizó un ensayo clínico multicéntrico de no inferioridad (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET). Resultados. 117 participantes (74 hombres, edad 59,34 ±9,52 años, 83,4±27,2% de adherencia a la RC) físicamente activos al final de un programa de RC fueron evaluados a los 6 y 12 meses desde el ingreso para determinar su adherencia a la AF. La tasa de seguimiento fue del 94,01% a los 6 meses (6m) y del 78,63% a los 12 meses (12m). El 90% de los participantes seguían físicamente activos a los 6 meses y el 92,39% seguían activos a los 12 meses después del evento coronario. Un 5,98% fueron clasificados como inactivos a los 6 m pero estaban físicamente activos al año. En contraste, sólo el 0,85% se volvió inactivo a los 6 meses y permaneció inactivo hasta 1 año, mientras que el 4,27% se reportó como activo a los 6 meses, pero terminó estando inactivo al año. La AF relacionada con las tareas del hogar es responsable del 40% y más del gasto calórico total de los adultos después de un evento coronario en todo momento. El gasto calórico relacionado con actividades recreativas y transporte disminuyó a los 6 y 12 meses, mientras que el gasto calórico asociado con el trabajo y las actividades domésticas aumentó a los 6 y 12 meses después de completar un programa de RC. Conclusión. Los adultos que completan un programa de RC continúan activos 6 y 12 meses después de un evento coronario. Sin embargo, las actividades que generan mayor gasto calórico varían con el tiempo. Este hallazgo resalta la importancia de fomentar la actividad física como parte del tiempo de ocio y recreación en los adultos, ya que se sabe que su beneficio es mayor.
Background. Establishing a healthy, active lifestyle is one of the most important and challenging goals of cardiac rehabilitation. Understanding the behavior of physical activity (PA) patterns in adults who have suffered a coronary event and who have participated in a Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) program is necessary to evaluate its impact and propose timely strategies in this area. Objetive. To evaluate compliance with the global PA recommendation 1 year after entering a CR program for coronary artery disease. Methods. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was applied to adults with coronary heart disease treated 6 and 12 months after admission to a Cardiac Rehabilitation program in 6 hospitals in Chile, between May 2019 and February 2020 in the context of the randomized study. A multicenter non-inferiority clinical trial (Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial, HYCARET) was conducted. Results. 117 participants (74 men, age 59.34 ± 9.52 years, 83.4 ± 27.2% adherence to CR) physically active at the end of a CR program were evaluated at 6 and 12 months from entry. to determine their adherence to PA. The follow-up rate was 94.01% at 6 months (6m) and 78.63% at 12 months (12m). 90% of participants were still physically active at 6 months and 92.39% were still active at 12 months after the coronary event. 5.98% were classified as inactive at 6 m but were physically active at one year. In contrast, only 0.85% became inactive at 6 months and remained inactive for up to 1 year, while 4.27% reported themselves as active at 6 months but ended up being inactive at one year. Housework-related PA is responsible for 40% and more of adults' total caloric expenditure after a coronary event at all times. Caloric expenditure related to recreational activities and transportation decreased at 6 and 12 months, while caloric expenditure associated with work and home activities increased at 6 and 12 months after completing a CR program. Conclusion. Adults who complete a CR program remain active 6 and 12 months after a coronary event. However, the activities that generate the greatest caloric expenditure vary over time. This finding highlights the importance of promoting physical activity as part of leisure and recreation time in adults, since it is known that its benefit is greater.
RESUMO
Importance: While effective, cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) as traditionally delivered is not well implemented in lower-resource settings. Objective: To test the noninferiority of hybrid CR compared with traditional CR in terms of cardiovascular events. Design, Setting, and Participants: This pragmatic, multicenter, parallel arm, open-label randomized clinical trial (the Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation Trial [HYCARET]) with blinded outcome assessment was conducted at 6 referral centers in Chile. Adults aged 18 years or older who had a cardiovascular event or procedure, no contraindications to exercise, and access to a mobile telephone were eligible and recruited between April 1, 2019, and March 15, 2020, with follow-up until July 29, 2021. Interventions: Participants were randomized 1:1 in permuted blocks to the experimental arm, which received 10 center-based supervised exercise sessions plus counseling in 4 to 6 weeks and then were supported at home via telephone calls and text messages through weeks 8 to 12, or the control arm, which received the standard CR of 18 to 22 sessions with exercises and education in 8 to 12 weeks. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was cardiovascular events or mortality. Secondary outcomes were quality of life, return to work, and lifestyle behaviors measured with validated questionnaires; muscle strength and functional capacity, measured through physical tests; and program adherence and exercise-related adverse events, assessed using checklists. Results: A total of 191 participants were included (mean [SD] age, 58.74 [9.80] years; 145 [75.92%] male); 93 were assigned to hybrid CR and 98 to standard CR. At 1 year, events had occurred in 5 unique participants in the hybrid CR group (5.38%) and 9 in the standard CR group (9.18%). In the intention-to-treat analysis, the hybrid CR group had 3.80% (95% CI, -11.13% to 3.52%) fewer cardiovascular events than the standard CR group, and relative risk was 0.59 (95% CI, 0.20-1.68) for the primary outcome. In the per-protocol analysis at different levels of adherence to the intervention, all 95% CIs crossed the noninferiority boundary (eg, 20% adherence: absolute risk difference, -0.35% [95% CI, -7.56% to 6.85%]; 80% adherence: absolute risk difference, 3.30% [95% CI, -3.70% to 10.31%]). No between-group differences were found for secondary outcomes except adherence to supervised CR sessions (79.14% [736 of 930 supervised sessions] in the hybrid CR group vs 61.46% [1201 of 1954 sessions] in the standard CR group). Conclusions and Relevance: The results suggest that a hybrid CR program is noninferior to standard center-based CR in a low-resource setting, primarily in terms of recurrent cardiovascular events and potentially in terms of intermediate outcomes. Hybrid CR may induce superior adherence to supervised exercise. Clinical factors and patient preferences should inform CR model allocation.

Contexto: Embora haja uma ampla literatura sobre a avaliação de intervenções de tradução de conhecimento voltadas para profissionais de saúde, gestores e formuladores de políticas, tem havido menos foco nos pacientes e seus cuidadores informais. Além disso, nenhuma visão geral da literatura sobre estratégias de divulgação direcionadas aos usuários de saúde e seus cuidadores foi realizada. A visão geral tem duas questões específicas de pesquisa: (1) para determinar as estratégias mais eficazes que foram usadas para disseminar o conhecimento aos destinatários da saúde, e (2) para determinar as barreiras (e facilitadores) para a disseminação do conhecimento para este grupo. Métodos: Esta visão geral utilizou métodos de revisão sistemática e foi conduzida de acordo com um protocolo pré-definido. Uma pesquisa abrangente de dez bancos de dados e cinco sites foi realizada. Foram incluídas revisões publicadas e não publicadas em inglês, espanhol ou português. Foi realizada uma avaliação da qualidade metodológica; comentários de baixa qualidade foram excluídos. Foi realizada uma síntese narrativa, informada por uma matriz de estratégia por medida de resultado. A taxonomia de evidências do sistema de saúde para "estratégias direcionadas ao consumidor" foi usada para separar as estratégias em uma das seis categorias. Resultados: Identificamos 44 revisões sistemáticas que descrevem as estratégias eficazes para disseminar o conhecimento em saúde para o público, pacientes e cuidadores. Algumas dessas análises também descrevem as barreiras mais importantes para a adoção dessas estratégias eficazes. Ao analisar as estratégias com maior potencial para alcançar mudanças comportamentais, a maioria das estratégias com evidências suficientes de eficácia foram combinadas, frequentes e / ou intensas ao longo do tempo. Além disso, as estratégias voltadas para o paciente, com intervenções sob medida, e aquelas que buscam adquirir habilidades e competências foram mais eficazes para alcançar essas mudanças. Em relação às barreiras e facilitadores, embora a falta de alfabetização em saúde ou e-alfabetização possa aumentar as iniquidades, os benefícios das mídias sociais também foram enfatizados, Conclusões: Aquelas intervenções que se mostraram eficazes na melhoria da absorção de conhecimento ou comportamentos de saúde devem ser implementadas na prática, programas e políticas, se ainda não implementadas. Ao implementar estratégias, os tomadores de decisão devem considerar as barreiras e facilitadores identificados por esta visão geral para garantir a eficácia máxima.
Background: While there is an ample literature on the evaluation of knowledge translation interventions aimed at healthcare providers, managers, and policy-makers, there has been less focus on patients and their informal caregivers. Further, no overview of the literature on dissemination strategies aimed at healthcare users and their caregivers has been conducted. The overview has two specific research questions: (1) to determine the most effective strategies that have been used to disseminate knowledge to healthcare recipients, and (2) to determine the barriers (and facilitators) to dissemination of knowledge to this group. Methods: This overview used systematic review methods and was conducted according to a pre-defined protocol. A comprehensive search of ten databases and five websites was conducted. Both published and unpublished reviews in English, Spanish, or Portuguese were included. A methodological quality assessment was conducted; low-quality reviews were excluded. A narrative synthesis was undertaken, informed by a matrix of strategy by outcome measure. The Health System Evidence taxonomy for "consumer targeted strategies" was used to separate strategies into one of six categories. Results: We identified 44 systematic reviews that describe the effective strategies to disseminate health knowledge to the public, patients, and caregivers. Some of these reviews also describe the most important barriers to the uptake of these effective strategies. When analyzing those strategies with the greatest potential to achieve behavioral changes, the majority of strategies with sufficient evidence of effectiveness were combined, frequent, and/or intense over time. Further, strategies focused on the patient, with tailored interventions, and those that seek to acquire skills and competencies were more effective in achieving these changes. In relation to barriers and facilitators, while the lack of health literacy or e-literacy could increase inequities, the benefits of social media were also emphasized, for example by widening access to health information for ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic groups. Conclusions: Those interventions that have been shown to be effective in improving knowledge uptake or health behaviors should be implemented in practice, programs, and policiesif not already implemented. When implementing strategies, decision-makers should consider the barriers and facilitators identified by this overview to ensure maximum effectiveness.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La rehabilitación y las acciones de terapia física se han ido adaptando a la era de la telesalud, permitiendo aumentar la accesibilidad y mejorar la continuidad de la atención en poblaciones con discapacidades y alejadas geográficamente. En la actualidad, y debido a expansión de la infección por SARS-CoV-2, muchos profesionales han debido adaptar su trabajo a una modalidad de telerehabilitación, por lo que es necesario acceder a la mejor evidencia disponible de manera resumida y oportuna. Es en este contexto que se ha desarrollado el presente protocolo, con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad de la telerehabilitación como estrategia de atención en terapia física para diferentes condiciones, poblaciones y contextos. MÉTODO Y ANÁLISIS: Se conducirá una revisión global o revisión de revisiones, en un formato de revisión rápida siguiendo las recomendaciones PRISMA-P. Se incluirán revisiones sistemáticas de diferentes condiciones, poblaciones y contextos, donde la intervención a evaluar es la telerehabilitación en terapia física. Los desenlaces de interés a considerar son la efectividad clínica dependiendo de la condición específica, la funcionalidad, calidad de vida, satisfacción, adherencia y seguridad. Se realizará una búsqueda en las bases de datos MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE y Cochrane Library. La selección de los estudios será realizada en duplicado con resolución de discrepancias por un tercer revisor. La extracción de datos y la evaluación del riesgo de sesgos serán realizadas por un revisor con verificación no independiente de un segundo revisor. Los hallazgos serán reportados cualitativamente a través de tablas y figuras. ÉTICA Y DISEMINACIÓN: Se considera el cumplimiento de los principios éticos del valor de la pregunta de investigación, rigor metodológico, investigadores científicamente cualificados, evaluación independiente del protocolo y publicación puntual y precisa de los resultados. Se espera publicar la revisión completa en al menos un artículo y los resultados se difundirán ampliamente en diversos niveles de decisión.
INTRODUCTION: Rehabilitation and physical therapy have been adapting to the telehealth era, increasing accessibility and improving the continuity of attention in geographically remote populations with disabilities. Due to the spread of infection by SARS-CoV-2, many professionals have had to adapt their work to telerehabilitation practices, which require the best evidence at short notice and in summarized form. In this context, this protocol has been developed to evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation as a care strategy in physical therapy for different conditions, populations, and contexts. METHOD AND ANALYSIS: An overview will be carried out in the format of a rapid review. It will include systematic reviews of different conditions, populations, and contexts, where the intervention to be evaluated is telerehabilitation by physical therapy. The outcomes considered will be clinical effectiveness depending on the specific condition, functionality, quality of life, satisfaction, adherence, and safety. A search will be carried out of the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Studies will be selected in duplicate with any discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment will be carried out by a reviewer with non-independent verification by a second reviewer. The findings will be reported qualitatively by tables and figures. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The principles of the value of the research question, the methodological rigor, scientifically qualified investigators, an independent evaluation of the protocol, and timely and accurate publication of the results will be complied with. The complete review will lead to the publication of at least one article, and the results will be widely disseminated at various levels of decision-making.

Resumen: Antecedentes: La Rehabilitación Cardíaca disminuye las complicaciones de la cirugía cardíaca y es mundialmente reconocida. A pesar de esto, en Chile su desarrollo ha sido lento y el reporte de experiencias bajo. Objetivo: Describir la progresión de acuerdo los pasos de rehabilitación y días postoperatorios en pacientes de rehabilitación cardíaca fase I en un hospital público de Temuco, Chile. Metodología: Se analizó una serie de casos de pacientes en rehabilitación cardíaca fase I, participantes de un protocolo basado en hitos motores de seis pasos: movilización en cama (P1); sedente borde cama (P2); marcha de 35 mts (P3); marcha hasta 100 mts (P4); marcha hasta 200 metros más subir/bajar un piso de escaleras (P5); marcha de 300 metros más subir/bajar dos pisos de escaleras (P6). Resultados: Se incluyeron 243 pacientes (1.033 sesiones) con una media de 65.9 años (DS 9.5), mediana de hospitalización 6 días. Del total de atenciones realizadas el día 1, en 53% de ellas se alcanzó el P1; en el día 2, en un 51% se alcanzó el P2 y en un 42% un paso ≥P3; en el día 3, en 44.78% se alcanzó paso ≥P4; en el día 4, en 37.75% se alcanzó ≥P4. En los días 5-7, aproximadamente 50% logró ≥P5. Conclusión: La progresión de los pasos es proporcional al día postcirugía y es más rápida en hombres. Al momento del alta, 75% de los pacientes alcanza una independencia funcional que les permite caminar dos cuadras y subir/bajar un piso de escaleras.
Abstract Background: Despite advances in cardiovascular disease management and the development of minimally invasive approaches, open cardiac surgery is still a preferred intervention in complicated cases. Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation decreases complications associated with this intervention. Globally, cardiac rehabilitation is widely recommended. However, in Chile the implementation of this intervention has been slow and there are scarce reports of its result. Objective: To describe the progression according to steps and post-surgery days in cardiac rehabilitation phase I patients in the public hospital in Temuco, Chile. Methodology: We analyzed a series of cases of patients in cardiac rehabilitation phase I, participants of a protocol based on six-step motor levels: (S1) on-bed mobilization, (S2) sitting on the edge of the bed, (S3) Bipedal exercise and 35 meter walking, (S4) 100 meter walking, (P5) 200 meter walking plus going up one floor and down stairs, and (S6) 300 meter walking plus going two floors up and down stairs. Results: 243 patients were included, and 1,033 sessions were performed) Mean age was 65.9years-old (SD 9.5) and hospital stay run for a median of 6 days. From all sessions, on day one, 53% of patients reached S1. On day 2, 51% reached S2 and 36% walked (S3). On day 3, 44.78% reached ≥S4. On day 4, 37.75% reached ≥S4. On days 5-7, approximately 50% achieved ≥S5. Conclusion: the step progression is proportional to number of days after surgery, faster in men than compared to women. At discharge, 75 % of patients show functional independency that allows them to walk two blocks and go one floor up and down stairs.
