Association Between Out-of-Hour Admission and Short- and Long-Term Mortality in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Out-of-hour admission (on weekends, holidays, and weekday nights) has been associated with higher mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We conducted a meta-analysis to verify the association between out-of-hour admission and mortality (both short- and long-term) in AMI patients. Design: This Systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. Data Sources: PubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception to 27 May 2021. Eligibility Criteria for Selected Studies: Studies of any design examined the potential association between out-of-hour admission and mortality in AMI. Data Extraction and Synthesis: In total, 2 investigators extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias. Analysis was conducted using a random-effect
