There is no association between weekend admissions and delays in antibiotic administration for patients admitted to the emergency department with suspicion of sepsis: A retrospective cohort study.

Admission to the emergency department (ED) on weekends has been associated with an increase in mortality and poor outcomes, but the associated findings are not consistent. It has been hypothesized that this association may be due to lower adherence to standards of care.This study was conducted to evaluate whether weekend admissions to the ED increases the time to antibiotic administration in septic patients.
