This article reports on mortality of a large, elderly US population after CR programs using a propensity-based matching and regression models. It shows a 21% to 34% lower mortality in CR users than non-users in a socioeconomically and clinically diverse older population after extensive analyses to control for potential confounding.

It concludes that there is some evidence to suggest that interventions to increase the use of CR can be effective.
