Authors' objectives:
The prospective multi-centre cohort study aimed at answering the following research question: 18 months after phase II, do patients with an unfavourable risk profile who attended an additional phase III programme (IG, intervention group) have on average fewer risk factors outside the target range compared to patients without phase III (KG, control group)?
Authors' recommendations:
Despite positive trends in some outcomes, the present study could not find any evidence that phase III cardiac rehabilitation results in an effect as defined as minimally detectable in the study protocol (even after an 80%-power conserving adjustment of the significance level, compensating for a smaller than planned sample size).
