SETTING: All acute and specialist English hospitals carrying out elective surgery over three financial years, from 2008-09 to 2010-11. PARTICIPANTS: Patients undergoing elective surgery in English public hospitals. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Death in or out of hospital within 30 days of the procedure. RESULTS: There were 27,582 deaths within 30 days after 4,133,346 inpatient admissions for elective operating room procedures (overall crude mortality rate 6.7 per 1000). The number of weekday and weekend procedures decreased over the three years (by 4.5\% and 26.8\%, respectively). The adjusted odds of death were 44\% and 82\% higher, respectively, if the procedures were carried out on Friday (odds ratio 1.44, 95\% confidence interval 1.39 to 1.50) or a weekend (1.82, 1.71 to 1.94) compared with Monday. CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests a higher risk of death for patients who have elective surgical procedures carried out later in the working week and at the weekend.},
