Does Weekends Effect Exist in Asia? Analysis of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in A Medical Center

Conclusions This study revealed nonworking-hour effects truly exist in patients who received EST. Although delays in door-to-groin puncture times were noticed during nonworking hours, significant differences in neurological functions and mortality were not observed between working and nonworking hours. Nevertheless, methods to improve the process during nonworking hours should be explored in the future.PMID:35894472 | DOI:10.2174/1567202619666220727094020
