The discussions demonstrate a strong consensus on the increased risk of cardiac events around holidays, citing studies, historical facts, and practical tips like avoiding excess alcohol. The tone emphasizes caution and awareness, showing substantial engagement and potential influence on health behaviors.
Most discussions acknowledge and support the study’s findings that cardiac mortality increases during the holidays.
Posts express moderate interest, with some sharing practical advice, historical data, and implications of the findings.
Many responses reference specific data, historical patterns, and health recommendations, indicating deep engagement.
The widespread acknowledgment and emphasis on health precautions suggest these discussions could influence public awareness and behavior.
Abstract in brief
- Cardiac and noncardiac mortality rates peak during December and January, especially around Christmas and New Year's, and this spike persists even after accounting for seasonal and climatic factors.
- The study estimates that during the holiday period, there are approximately 465,030 more cardiac deaths and 499,042 more noncardiac deaths than expected if holidays had no effect, with the highest increases for individuals arriving dead at hospitals or dying in emergency settings.
- The researchers suggest that holiday-related factors, such as delays in seeking medical treatment, may contribute to the increased risk of death during this period, and these holiday spikes in mortality are becoming proportionally larger over time.]

There are multiple explanations for this association, including the possibility that holiday-induced delays in seeking treatment play a role in producing the twin holiday spikes. https://t.co/l0cOVtvk9S

@PeterAppel14 @destatis @reitschuster Naja gut, das Thema Wochentage erübrigt sich bei KW ja. Aber es gibt zumindest bei Sterbezahlen Unterschiede, wann man zur Notaufnahme kam.
