Eighteen factors that have been shown in previous research to be important predictors of CR participation were investigated and grouped into four categories: sociodemographic factors, cardiac risk factors, patient medical status and service-level factors. Logistic binary regression models were built for male patients and female patients, assessing the likelihood for CR engagement. Each included predictors such as age, number of comorbidities and social deprivation score.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There were no important differences in the factors that predict the likelihood of CR engagement in men and women. Seven factors associated with a reduced probability of CR engagement, and eight factors associated with increased probability, were identified. Fourteen of the 15 factors identified as predicting the likelihood for engagement\/non-engagement were the same for both men and women. Increasing age, being South Asian or non-white ethnicity (other than Black) and being single were all associated with a reduced likelihood of attending an initial CR baseline assessment in both men and women. Male patients with diabetes were 11% less likely to engage with CR; however, there was no significant association in women. Results showed that the overwhelmingly important determinant of CR engagement observed in both men and women was receiving an invitation to attend an assessment session (OR 4.223 men\/4.033women; p&lt;0.05).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Consideration of gender differences in predictors of CR uptake should probably be more nuanced and informed by the stage of the patient care pathway.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/openhrt-2017-000764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]],"date-time":"2018-03-27T03:30:12Z","timestamp":1522121412000},"page":"e000764","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Gender differences in the factors predicting initial engagement at cardiac rehabilitation"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3185-205X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul Michael","family":"Galdas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of York, York, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander Stephen","family":"Harrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of York, York, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Doherty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of York, York, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025081711024805000_5.1.e000764.1","unstructured":"British Heart Foundation.
