“…Several studies have assessed in-hospital, medium and long-term outcomes for PCI therapy during on-hours compared to off-hours. Distinct longer delay times during off-hours are found in most of these studies, but there are conflicting results in terms of angiographic and clinical outcomes for patients treated during off-hours (Beohar et al, 2001;Berger et al, 2006;Casella et al, 2011;Cubeddu et al, 2013;De Luca et al, 2005;Jneid et al, 2008;Noman et al, 2012;Ortolani et al, 2007;Sadeghi et al, 2004;Saleem et al, 2004;Uyarel et al, 2009;Zahn et al, 1999). These conflicting results may be due to presentation of sicker patients and less successful PCI procedures during off-hours (Glaser et al, 2008).…”
