Rapid COVID Audit Update
Between April and June 2020 a ICCPR’s survey was administered to CR programs globally via REDCap. The 50 members of the ICCPR and personal contacts facilitated program identification. Overall, 1062 (18.3% program response rate) responses were received from 70/111 (63.1% country response rate) countries in the world with existent CR programs. Of these, 367 (49.1%) programs reported they had stopped CR delivery, and 203 (27.1%) stopped temporarily (mean=8.3±2.8 weeks). Resources identified through the ICCPR’s survey of CR programs globally by programs are collated below (you are welcome to email us with new resources to add as they become available at globalcardiacrehab@gmail.com).
