Weekend admission for cervical spinal cord injury associated with shorter length of stay at private non-profit centers

This national retrospective study revealed no difference in overall mortality rates between weekend and weekday admissions for patients presenting with CSCI. In patients with associated fractures, spinal fractures showed higher mortality rates than non-spinal fractures. Decreased length of stay was associated with weekend admissions to private non-profit centers, with no difference in mortality rates in this cohort.
