- Abstract
The article focuses on research which examined whether outcomes after in-hospital cardiac arrest differ during nights and weekends compared with days, evenings and weekdays. The research examined rates of survival and involved 58,593 cases of cardiac arrest during day time and 28,155 cases during night hours. Researchers found that survival rates from in-hospital cardiac arrest are lower during nights and weekends, even when adjusted for potentially confounding patient, event and hospital characteristics.
