Canadian scientists have found that ischemic stroke sufferers are more likely to die within seven days of admission if they are admitted to hospital at the weekend than during the week.
However, they do not want this news to cause delayed admissions. Their message to patients, carers and health professionals is to get the stroke patient into an appropriate hospital as soon as possible since the race against time is the greatest priority.
Maybe that data only applies to Canada?
