Popis: To investigate the impact of baseline kidney function on outcomes following comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with heart failure (HF). We reviewed a total of 3,727 patients who were admitted for HF treatment. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), quadriceps strength (QS), and 6-min walk distance (6MWD) were measured at hospital discharge as a baseline and 5 months thereafter in participants of outpatient comprehensive CR. The association between outpatient CR participation and all-cause events was evaluated using propensity score-matched analysis in subgroups across eGFR stages. The changes in QS and 6MWD following 5-month CR were compared between eGFR stages. Out of the studied patients, 1585 (42.5%) participated in outpatient CR. After propensity matching for clinical confounders, 2680 patients were included for analysis (pairs of n = 1340 outpatient CR participants and nonparticipants). The participation in outpatient CR was significantly associated with low clinical events in subgroups of eGFR ≥ 60 [hazard ratio (HR): 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.51–0.84] and eGFR 45–60 (HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.55–0.92), but not in eGFR 30–45 (HR: 0.83, 95% CI: 0.64–1.08) and eGFR
