Second, the selection of participants for this study may have been subject to issues with external validity, as we restricted our population to nighttime patients.
We found no relation between days of continuous cover by a single intensivist or grade of physician staffing at nighttime and patient outcomes in adult, general ICUs in England.
Notably, nighttime discharged patients in this study had more comorbidities and higher disease severity [ 1], findings that were reproduced in our study and others [ 2, 3, 12, 17].
Third, we did not have data on what proportion of nighttime discharged patients were designated palliative and not for ICU readmission, which may have unduly influenced our results.
During the nighttime, nurse to patient ratio is 1 2 or 1 2.5 in RDGG and GH.
Similar to our results they found decreased nighttime SDANN in patients [ 25].
Literature review and clinician interviews were conducted to inform discussion guides to explore patients' nighttime COPD symptom experience.
Chronic SCI with reduced VC may benefit from support from nighttime NIMV in patients in whom nighttime saturation is repeatedly <95% and CO2 > 50 cm H2O, which unequivocally indicates hypoventilation.
One study failed to show an effect of light therapy on objective measures of nighttime sleep, unless patients had aberrant timing of their rest activity rhythms.
The arteriole (AO) grade exhibited significant associations with the daytime and nighttime ABP in the patients overall, but not in patients not taking antihypertensive medications.
