CO-CREATION-HF protocol: clinical trial to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive and hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model on patients with heart failure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction Comprehensive, hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (CR) models have been scantly investigated in heart failure (HF) populations, particularly in low-resource settings. CO-CREATION-HF aims to evaluate the effectiveness of such a model compared to supervised exercise alone. Methods and analysis A 2 parallel-arm, multi-center randomized clinical superiority trial will be conducted with blinded outcome assessment. 152 HF patients (NYHA class II or III) will be recruited consecutively, and randomly assigned using permuted blocks; allocation will be concealed. The 12-week intervention will include evaluation, medical and nurse management, aerobic interval training, resistance exercise training, psychosocial support, and education. These will initially be delivered in a center, transitioning to home in 4 stages. Controls will receive similar management, but face-to-face continuous aerobic exercise sessions and resistance exercises. The main outcomes are cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 max), functional capacity (m from 6 MWT), and quality of life (Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire). Program adherence and completion, NT-proBNP, functioning, all-cause and HF-specific mortality and hospitalization, muscle strength, adverse events and cost will be secondary outcomes. These will be measured at baseline, end of intervention, and 12-month follow-up. The sample size was calculated considering 90% power, a significance level of 5%, a between-group difference equivalent to 1/2 MET, and a 10% potential loss to follow-up. Intention-to-treat analysis will be considered. Between-group differences will be assessed using Student's t-tests or Z-tests along with 95% confidence intervals, and the rate ratio will be computed to compare mortality. Ethics and dissemination The study protocol and the Informed Consent form were approved by Ethical Committees at the Universidad de La Frontera (No. 081-23) and each center participating. Research findings will be disseminated to the scientific community and will be shared with relevant stakeholder groups and policy-makers. Finally, investigators shall reach HF patients via various dissemination channels such as social media. Clinical Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov , identifier (NCT06313684).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
