Daytime variation in aortic valve surgery and clinical outcome: A propensity score matched analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In our propensity score-matched analysis on 2720 patients undergoing elective isolated aortic valve replacement or combined aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting, time of day variation had no significant impact on clinical outcomes. Thus, our study refutes the need for taking timing of elective aortic valve surgery into consideration to improve clinical outcomes. PMID: 31926160 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
