The new study talks about the consequences that the weekend's <x0-effective” brings in recent years.
We know that survival trends have improved in the last decadeDr. Uchenna Oforma, assistant medical branch at Temple University, said.
Ten years after a 2008 study showing low levels of survival during nights and weekends in the hospital, Obore published a new study Monday in the U.S. Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The new study is based on previous study, claiming that there are real improvements, but patients are more likely to die on weekends or during nights.
Between 2000 and 2014, survival of weekdays increased from 16% to 25.2%, while weekend survival and increased from 11.9% to 21.9 %.
There was no significant difference in the gap between the survival of weekdays and overtime, the study said. About half of patients in the study, more than 150,000 patients from 470 US hospitals, have experienced heart attacks during hours doctors have been vacationing.
