Abstract

Physical performance such as muscle strength or walking speed of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is lower than that of people who do not have CAD and is related to mortality and re-admission rates. Recent studies have shown that skeletal muscle strength, such as grip strength, was closely associated with cardiac events. Physical performance testing is quick, safe, and inexpensive and provides a reliable assessment tool for routine clinical practice. The aim of this meta-analysis is to clarify the association between physical performance testing and the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. This meta-analysis will include male and female participants of any age in community settings who have a history of the following conditions or procedures: myocardial infarction, or coronary revascularization (coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, or coronary artery stent), angina pectoris, heart failure, heart transplant, or coronary artery disease defined by angiography. We will search EMBASE and MEDLINE, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library with no limitations on date, language, document type, or publication status. Identified studies will be prospective and retrospective cohort studies. Physical performance will be defined as upper extremity strength, lower extremity strength, walking speed, or other performance scale. Six review authors will independently extract study characteristics from included studies. Participants will be divided into subgroups according to age (middle-aged <65 years and elderly ≥65 years), diagnosis (coronary artery disease and heart failure) and follow-up time (up to 12 months and over 12 months). We will pool hazard ratios of Cox proportional hazard models after logarithmic transformation and perform the meta-analysis by using inverse-variance method. To our knowledge, this meta-analysis will be the first report to assess the association between physical performance and cardiovascular events in CAD patients. We hope that these findings may help to estimate the prognosis for CAD patients in clinical practice. PROSPERO CRD42015020886 .

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 March 2016.
All research outputs
#19,942,887
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Systematic Reviews
#1,902
of 2,228 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#215,777
of 312,011 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Systematic Reviews
#35
of 41 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,228 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.2. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 312,011 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 41 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
