Weekday and Survival After Cardiac Surgery—A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Study in 106 473 Patients [Cardiovascular Surgery]

These data suggest that the early risk and long‐term prognosis following cardiac surgery was not affected by the weekday of surgery.Clinical Trial RegistrationURL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
