Impact of ambulatory surgery day of the week on postoperative outcomes: a population-based cohort study

Conclusion On a population level, there was a small effect of the day of the week of ambulatory surgery on outcomes; however, the clinical impact is likely not relevant. Certain surgical types may be more susceptible to a day of the week effect, but more research is needed to elucidate this notion.
