  • REACH Index: Explanation and Clinical Context
     The REACH Index is a predictive tool developed to estimate the likelihood of a patient's attendance in a cardiac rehabilitation program. It incorporates various factors such as age, gender, smoking status, marital status, and anxiety levels. The index is calculated using a logistic regression model, where each factor is assigned a coefficient based on its impact on attendance likelihood. A higher REACH Index score indicates a higher probability of attending rehabilitation sessions, aiding healthcare providers in identifying patients who may benefit from targeted interventions to improve adherence to rehabilitation programs.
