Procedure utilization, latency and mortality: Weekend versus Weekday admission for Myocardial Infarction
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Due to variations in hospital protocols and personnel availability, individuals with myocardial infarction admitted on the weekend may be less likely to receive invasive procedures, or may receive them with a greater latency than those admitted during the week. Whether or not this occurs, and translates into a difference in outcomes is not established.
