Key Points

  • To investigate the impact of weekend admissions on mortality outcomes in type A aortic dissection surgeries.
  • Analyzed nationwide data on type A aortic dissection surgeries
  • Compared survival rates for weekend vs. weekday admissions
  • Assessed the influence of known aortic dissection risk factors
  • Patients admitted on weekends have a higher mortality rate compared to those admitted on weekdays
  • Known risk factors significantly affect survival outcomes
  • Identified a need to address disparities in surgical timing

Abstract

While known aortic dissection risk factors significantly impact TAAD survival, patients admitted on weekends also demonstrate a higher mortality rate.
