End of week surgery 'has higher death risk'
Conclusion
This study suggests there is a higher death rate among patients undergoing planned surgery, both before and during weekends. As the authors say, the reason for this is unknown but it could be due to reduced staffing levels or other resources.
The study’s key strengths were its use of a large national database and its inclusion of all deaths within 30 days of an elective procedure, eliminating the potential bias of only counting deaths that occurred in hospital.
