RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Towards informing health research policy and planning, this article evaluates the relationship of the research publications in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) with the rehabilitation needs arising from cardiovascular diseases (except stroke) and chronic respiratory diseases, over time (1990-2017). METHODS: Ecological study using a secondary analysis and linear regressions of public domain data to associate two datasets of population-level data: (1) research publications for CR and PR (data from the PubMed database); and (2) global need for CR and PR (data from the Global Burden of Disease study). RESULTS: The percentage of both CR and PR publications (among total rehabilitation research) significantly decreased from 1990 to 2017 (both: p < 0.01). PR needs and research publications were aligned: around 5% of total rehabilitation needs and rehabilitation research. For CR needs (around 2%, but significantly increasing since 1990), we found a greater portion of CR research publications (6.5% or over). Finally, we found an inverse association among the percentage of CR research publications and CR needs (b = -6.08; r2 = 0.37, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: The portion of CR and PR research (among total rehabilitation research) is declining over time. Yearly percentage of CR publications were greater than those of PR but for lower level of rehabilitation need, but the disparate trend was significantly decreasing over time. Population rehabilitation needs and their alignment with research volume must be one factor in the design of population-centred, equitable health research priorities.

INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes com doenca renal crônica (DRC) sob tratamento hemodialítico apresentam diminuicao da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) que representa um fator de risco independente para a mortalidade cardíaca, especialmente a morte súbita. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito do exercício aeróbico, realizado durante as sessões de hemodiálise, na VFC e na funcao ventricular esquerda de pacientes portadores de DRC. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 22 pacientes randomizados em dois grupos: exercício (n = 11; 49,6 ± 10,6 anos; 4 homens) e controle (n = 11; 43,5 ± 12,8; 4 homens). Os pacientes do grupoexercício foram submetidos a três sessões semanais de exercício aeróbico, realizado nas duas horas iniciais da hemodiálise, durante 12 semanas. Para a análise da VFC e da funcao ventricular esquerda, todos os pacientes foram submetidos aos exames de Holter de 24 horas e ecocardiograma, respectivamente. RESULTADOS: Após 12 semanas de protocolo, nao foi observada diferenca significante em nenhum dos parámetros da VFC nos domínios do tempo e da frequência em ambos os grupos. A fração de ejeção aumentou de modo nao significante nos pacientes do grupo-exercício (67,5 ± 12,6 por cento vs. 70,4 ± 12 por cento) e diminuiu nao significantemente nos pacientes do grupo-controle (73,6 ± 8,4 por cento vs. 71,4 ± 7,6 por cento). CONCLUSÃO: A realizacao de 12 semanas de exercício aeróbico, durante as sessões de hemodiálise, nao modificou a VFC e nao promoveu melhora significante na funcao ventricular esquerda.
INTRODUCTION: Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis is predictive of cardiac death, especially due to sudden death. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of aerobic training during hemodialysis on HRV and left ventricular function in ESRD patients. METHODS: Twenty two patients were randomized into two groups: exercise (n = 11; 49.6 ± 10.6 years; 4 men) and control (n = 11; 43.5 ± 12.8; 4 men). Patients assigned to the exercise group were submitted to aerobic training, performed during the first two hours of hemodialysis, three times weekly, for 12 weeks. HRV and left ventricular function were assessed by 24 hours Holter monitoring and echocardiography, respectively. RESULTS: After 12 weeks of protocol, no significant differences were observed in time and frequency domains measures of HRV in both groups. The ejection fraction improved non-significantly in exercise group (67.5 ± 12.6 percent vs. 70.4 ± 12 percent) and decreased non-significantly in control group (73.6 ± 8.4 percent vs. 71.4 ± 7.6 percent). CONCLUSION: A 12-week aerobic training program performed during hemodialysis did not modify HRV and did not significantly improve the left ventricular function.
