Social Inequality in the Comprehensive Cardiac Rehabilitation Pathway: A NATIONWIDE COHORT STUDY ACROSS HOSPITALS AND PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CENTERS
The observed socioeconomic differences throughout the CR pathway underscore the need for targeted interventions to ensure early assessment of CR needs and participation in specific CR activities among patients with lower socioeconomic positions. This study identifies specific patient characteristics and CR activities as key markers for reducing these inequalities.
