TLDR
Although admission during the last 3 days of the month is an independent predictor of length of stay, it does not have a large effect on quality of care among patients with myocardial infarction.About:

“July Effect”: Impact of the Academic Year-End Changeover on Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: In this article, it is commonly believed that the quality of health care decreases during trainee academic year-end changeovers, and it is shown that quality decreases during the changeover period.

“July Effect”: Impact of the Academic Year-End Changeover on Patient Outcomes
TL;DR: Mortality increases and efficiency decreases in hospitals because of year-end changeovers, although heterogeneity in the existing literature does not permit firm conclusions about the degree of risk posed, how changeover affects morbidity and rates of medical errors, or whether particular models are more or less problematic.

Resident duty-hour reform associated with increased morbidity following hip fracture.
TL;DR: A significant increase in the rate of change in the incidence of perioperative pneumonia, hematoma, transfusion, renal complications, nonroutine discharge, costs, and length of stay was seen in patients who underwent treatment for a hip fracture in the years after the resident duty-hour reforms at teaching institutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between in-hospital information and patient satisfaction after acute myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: The results indicate that it is necessary to examine the current provision of in-hospital information and education to AMI patients, as patients want more information at discharge and after returning home.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Mortality Rates During Resident Handoff Periods and the Effect of ACGME Duty Hour Regulations.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of duty-hour regulations on patient-centered outcomes, specifically mortality, and found that resident transition in care was significantly associated with an increase in unadjusted and adjusted hospital mortality.

Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology
TL;DR: The idea of a randomization test has been explored in the context of data analysis for a long time as mentioned in this paper, and it has been applied in a variety of applications in biology, such as single species ecology and community ecology.

TL;DR: The NRMI data demonstrate that the recommendations of recent clinical trials and published guidelines are being implemented, resulting in more rapid administration of intravenous thrombolytic therapy, increasing use of primary angioplasty and more frequent use of adjunctive therapies known to reduce mortality, and may be contributing to the higher prevalence of non-Q wave infarctions, shorter hospital stays and lower hospital mortality.
