Effect of weekend admission on outcomes in mechanical thrombectomy population, multivariate models
Outcome variable | 2010-2014 |
2015-2017 |

---|---|---|---|---|
OR | P | OR | P | |
Inpatient mortality | 0.97 (0.83-1.12) | 0.65 | 1.08 (0.96-1.21) | 0.20 |
Adverse discharge (to SNF/ICF/subacute rehabilitation)a | 1.04 (0.89-1.22) | 0.63 | 1.11 (1.02-1.22) | 0.02 |
Models were adjusted for admission day (i.e., weekday vs. weekend), age, sex, IVT, DHC, ICH, hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, hypertension, smoking, drug abuse, alcoholism, PVD, valvular disease, atrial fibrillation, long term use of antithrombotics, long-term use of anti-coagulants, insurance status, bed-size of hospital, teaching status of hospital, median income, and baseline functional status (APR-DRG), aModel run after excluding inpatient deaths. IVT: Intravenous thrombolysis, DHC: Decompressive hemicraniectomy, ICH: Intracerebral hemorrhage, PVD: Peripheral vascular disease, APR-DRG: All patient refined-diagnosis-related groups, OR: Odds ratio, SNF: Skilled nursing facility, ICF: Intermediate care facility
