“…These results appear to confirm decreasing temporal trends in mortality among cardiology patients in last decades due to improvements in therapeutic and diagnostic approaches and suggest no direct effects of SSU opening on mortality at CARD. 1,5,23 In contrast, we found an increase in the mortality rate after SSU opening, but no significant association between percent admissions at SSU and mortality rate at the whole hospital, suggesting that SSU might have not exerted an adverse impact on global in-hospital mortality. These latter data provide additional fuel to the current uncertainty regarding the effects of SSU on in-hospital mortality.…”
