Higher Risk Of Death From Heart Attacks


The researchers note that the difference in mortality rate of 5% stems mainly from the fact that evenings and weekends are usually staffed hospitals with less experience and reduced medical staff.


People who suffer acute myocardial infarction are at greater risk of death if the incident happened any night of the week or during the weekend, according to a major international scientific research, the findings gathered 48 other studies involving 1.9 million patients in the U.S. , Europe and Canada. 's findings show that those with myocardial introduced the evening or during the weekend are on average 5% higher mortality (either in the hospital or within a month of discharge them) in relation to who introduced a weekday during the morning hours.


Scholars point out that the difference stems mainly from the fact that evenings and weekends are usually staffed hospitals with less experience and reduced medical staff. They point out that the major challenge for a hospital is to provide high quality services throughout the 24 hours. During the nights and weekends, generally takes more time to tackle an emergency in a hospital, which may ultimately cost the life of a patient with infarction, unlike someone entering full time and full operation of the hospital.
