Daytime variation of in-hospital mortality and low cardiac output syndrome after pediatric cardiac surgery-a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Objective Recent studies suggest that adult cardiac surgery performed in the morning increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events, but it is unclear whether this association exists in pediatric cardiac surgery. This study aimed to determine whether
