Functional Effectiveness of Inpatient Rehabilitation after Heart Transplantation ABSTRACT
RI PT
Background: Heart transplantation (HT) is the treatment of choice for many patients with end-stage Heart Failure (HF) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy but no study has looked directly into functional improvement of Heart Transplant patients after an Inpatient Rehabilitation Program.
SC
Objective: To determine functional improvement in heart transplant patients who completed an inpatient rehabilitation program.
M AN U
Design: Retrospective study
Setting: An Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) associated with a tertiary care hospital.
Patients: Seventeen patients admitted between March 2011 and September 2014 following heart transplantation.
Methods: Demographic, clinical and functional data (admission and discharge

Functional Independence Measure/ FIM scores) were recorded. Change in FIM scores and FIM efficiency (change in FIM score/length of stay) were analyzed. FIM outcomes for HT patients were compared to regional and national averages for patients undergoing an inpatient rehabilitation program for cardiac debility. As a secondary outcome, we evaluated whether Body Mass Index (BMI) of HT patients had an impact on FIM gains in an IRF. Individual FIM items were analyzed for trends. Results are reported as mean ± standard deviation.
Results: Twelve males and five females with mean age of 61.2±4.5 years were identified. Three patients were readmitted to acute hospital due to complications. For those fourteen patients who completed IRF stay, the mean admission and discharge motor FIM were 51.5 (±14.6) and 74.7 (±12.0) respectively. The mean admission and discharge cognition FIM were 30.9 (±3.2) and 32.9 (±1.7) respectively. The mean total FIM gain was 26.9 ± 13.3, (p
