12 Journal of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation and Prevention 2022; 42: 10-14 www. jcrpjournal. com complete significantly more CR sessions than patients randomized to clinic-based CR alone. Secondary aims are to assess the effect of HYCR on exercise capacity and quality of life. In mid-March 2020, all outpatient clinical and research activities were suspended at Henry Ford Hospital. This policy impacted 26 patients actively engaged in either the standard CR (S-CR) or hybrid CR (combined clinic-and home-based using video synchronized telehealth) arms of the trial. Regardless of study group assignment, for these 26 patients, the number of CR sessions attended at the time CR operations were suspended was used as their total number of sessions completed for the trial (Table). The COVID-19-related suspension directly impacted assessment of the primary trial end points, and the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) is evaluating how to include the data from these 26 patients in the statistical analysis. For example, one trial whose primary end point was impacted by COVID-19 excluded all affected participant-related data from their primary analysis but included such data in secondary analyses. 6 In June 2020, new patient enrollment resumed using COVID-19-specific procedures (eg, wearing a mask during CR, individual vs group education). Due to COVID-19, the findings from iATTEND take on increasing importance because the trial evaluates the delivery of CR outside the facility-based setting. 7 Additionally, because of COVID-19, health systems are now better prepared to assist CR programs by adding telehealth-based HYCR programs to their services. To leverage these system-level advances within Henry Ford Health System, in February 2021, the CR hybrid program switched its telehealth model from a one-on-one patient-to-staff encounter8, 9 to a WebEx platform (Cisco) that allows simultaneous and virtual engagement of three to five patients in a real-time manner during a 45-min period, with the goal of at least 30 min of supervised exercise for each person. The autumn 2020 surge in COVID cases in Michigan did not necessitate appreciable alterations in trial operations.
