If you are scheduled for surgery, here is an interesting study that you must know: researchers have discovered that the risk of surgery may depend on the week when it is programmed, identifying the worst day for an operation.

THE study Posted in Jama Network highlights an important trend known as “the effect of the weekend”, compared to surgeries. The researchers found that patients undergoing surgeries scheduled for Friday, just before the weekend, face a risk of significantly higher death, complications and readmission compared to those scheduled after weekends.

“Hospitals and healthcare systems have variations in operational structure and organization during the week’s days at weekends.

The results were based on a large -scale data analysis of 429,691 adult patients in Ontario, Canada, who underwent one of the 25 current surgical procedures between 2007 and 2019, with one year follow -up.

Of the 429,691 patients studied, nearly 46.5% underwent surgery before the weekend and the researchers noted that they were more likely to undergo negative results, in particular complications, readmissions and death in relation to the pre-then group.

The risk of mortality increased by 9% to 30 days, 10% to 90 days and a striker of 12% to one year for patients who have undergone surgery just before the weekend.

The study suggests that negative results can be linked to differences in hospital staff and fewer specialists available on weekends, which could have an impact on care after surgery. To improve results, researchers recommend future studies focused on high -quality care guarantee for all patients, regardless of when their surgery is scheduled.

However, it is interesting to note that the researchers noted a contrasting trend concerning unforeseen and urgent surgeries. While the planned or elective procedures carried out before the weekend were linked to worst postoperative results, urgent and unexpected surgeries tended to show slightly better results when carried out before the weekend.

“Our results underline the need for a critical examination of current surgical planning practices and the allocation of resources. An approach to consider is the optimization of perioperative care pathways to mitigate negative results,” noted the researchers.
