Patients admitted on the weekdays tended to be older, and more commonly had undergone prior cardiac surgery. Neurologic, coronary, and renal malperfusion were more common in patients admitted on the weekend. Compared to weekday admissions with aortic dissection, weekend admissions were associated with higher in-hospital mortality (17.3% vs 15.4%, P\u2009=\u2009.027) and also associated with increased risk in a multivariate analysis. Large hospital size and teaching status also had more favourable outcomes in the multivariate analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
