Do longer holidays worsen quality of care for patients with STEMI? A retrospective observational study using the nationwide China cardiovascular association database-chest pain centre registry
Longer holidays, particularly the Spring Festival, are associated with slightly worse outcomes for patients with STEMI in China. While initial assessments may be expedited during holidays, delays occur in providing definitive treatment. These findings highlight the need for targeted strategies to maintain high-quality STEMI care during extended holiday periods.
