Evidence and studies for the latter, however, are still rare.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aim of the study was to examine the app\/web-based patient education program called \u201cmebix\u201d (previously called \u201cVision 2 \u2013 Gesundes Herz\u201d) regarding its effectiveness in relation to the parameters of disease-specific quality of life (HeartQoL), cardiovascular risk profile (Cardiovascular Risk Management [CARRISMA]), and prognostic estimation of early retirement (Screening instrument work and occupation [SIBAR]) in 190 participants from a cardiological rehabilitation clinic.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n To evaluate mebix, 354 patients from the Roderbirken Clinic of the German Pension Insurance Rhineland (Germany) with a coronary heart diesase were recruited and randomized either to the intervention group (using mebix postrehabiliation for up to 12 months) or the control group (receiving standard care). The data collection took place at the end of inpatient rehabilitation (t0), as well as 6 months (t1) and 12 months (t2) after the end of rehabilitation. Analyses of variance are used to assess the overall significance of difference in outcome parameters between groups and over time.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The primary endpoint of disease-related quality of life shows a significant improvement of 7.35 points over the course of the intervention that is also more pronounced in the intervention group. Similarly, the 10-year risk of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction showed significant improvements in the cardiovascular risk profile over time and between groups, indicating better results in the intervention group (ie, a reduction of \u22121.59 and \u22125.03, respectively). Secondary outcomes like the body weight and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced in the intervention group, also in comparison with the control group. In addition, the SIBAR was significantly lower\/better at the end of the observation period than at the beginning of the observation for both groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Overall, the digital training program represents an effective follow-up offer after rehabilitation that could be incorporated into standard care to further improve disease-related quality of life and cardiovascular risk profiles.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/57960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,25]],"date-time":"2024-09-25T10:21:48Z","timestamp":1727259708000},"page":"e57960-e57960","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Results of a Digital Multimodal Motivational and Educational Program as Follow-Up Care for Former Cardiac Rehabilitation Patients: Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3962-4908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxi Pia","family":"Bretschneider","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4177-0365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Mayer-Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5185-3963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jens","family":"Weine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3790-8724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lena","family":"Roth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6317-7880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter E H","family":"Schwarz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8327-6122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franz","family":"Petermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"25","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2361","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2022.11.005","article-title":"The global burden of cardiovascular diseases and risk","volume":"80","author":"Vaduganathan","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17886\/RKI-GBE-2017-009","article-title":"12-Monats-Pr\u00e4valenz einer koronaren Herzkrankheit in Deutschland [Article in German]","author":"Busch","journal-title":"J Health Monitor"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.25646\/8456","article-title":"Gesundheitliche Lage von Erwachsenen in Deutschland \u2013 Ergebnisse zu ausgew\u00e4hlten Indikatoren der Studie GEDA 2019\/2020-EHIS [Article in German]","author":"Heidemann","journal-title":"R Koch-Inst"},{"key":"R4","unstructured":"Krankheitskosten pro Kopf gleichen sich zwischen M\u00e4nnern und Frauen weiter an [Website in German].
