Effect of holiday admission for acute aortic dissection on in-hospital mortality in Japan: A nationwide study

<h4>Background</h4> Patients admitted on weekends have higher mortality than those admitted on weekdays. However, whether the “weekend effect” results in a higher mortality after admission for acute aortic dissection (AAD),—classified according to Stanford types—remains unclear. This stu...
