This contrasts with the trend below this threshold, where at higher income the… Continue reading #Higher income is associated with greater life satisfaction, and more #stress
Inequalities in Income and Education are Associated with Survival Differences after Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Observational Study
Despite the acknowledged importance of socioeconomic factors as regards cardiovascular-disease onset, and survival, the relationship between individual-level socioeconomic factors and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is not fully established. Our aim was to investigate whether socioeconomic variables are associated with 30-day survival after OHCA. Methods: We linked data from the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary… Continue reading Inequalities in Income and Education are Associated with Survival Differences after Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Nationwide Observational Study
