Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure During Non-Working Hours Impacts on Long-Term Mortality: The REPORT-HF Registry
Main finding · Mortality at 1 yearResult — go to the resultHazard ratio 0.88 95% CI 0.80–0.96Authors' conclusion
Acute heart failure patients admitted during the night shift and non-working hours had shorter length of stay but similar in-hospital mortality. However, patients admitted during non-working hours were at a higher risk for 1 year mortality.
