Increased 30-day mortality associated with weekend emergency admission for alcohol-related liver disease in England: a record-linkage study using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink
First ARLD admissions at the WE experienced a 12-19% increase in 30-day mortality risk compared with WD. Although residual confounding cannot be excluded, this suggests the possibility of avoidable mortality among those hospitalised at WEs. Services should be alert to risks of WE effects when planning care.
