Popis:	Several studies conducted in a number of different populations indicate that patients admitted to hospitals on weekends have a higher mortality rate. Many factors have been proposed to explain these observations and in most studies, however, this effect disappeared after controlling for illness severity. We undertook the present study to explore the effect that day of ICU admission may have on death rate.
