consistent until the end of the 4-month program (HR=0.74, 95% CI 0.54-1.02, P=.06). The program
was also associated with lower mortality rates at the end of the 4-month program: relative risk (RR)
=0.33, 95% 0.11-0.97, P=.04). Additional 8-months follow-up following program completion did not
show residual beneficial effects of the CCCP program on mortality (HR=0.64, 95% 0.34-1.21, P=.17) or
hospitalizations (HR=1.12, 95% 0.90-1.41, P=.31).
Conclusions: CCCP was associated with significantly lower hospitalization rates up to 90 days and
significantly lower mortality rates over 120 days of the program. However, these effects did not persist
beyond the 120-day program duration.
