Weekday effect of surgery on in-hospital outcome in pancreatic surgery: a population-based study

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Pancreatic resections are complex procedures with high complication rates and FtR, resulting in high in-hospital mortality. Complication occurrence and FtR is dependent on the weekday of index surgery and mediates the same distribution pattern for overall in-hospital mortality. Stratified by patient volume, this weekday dependency of the index surgery on complication occurrence and FtR was only observed in low volume …
