Clinical review: Prognostic value of magnetic resonance imaging in acute brain injury and coma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Epidemiological studies have provided inconsistent results on whether intensive care unit (ICU) discharge at night and on weekends is associated with an increased risk of mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine whether ICU discharge time was associated with hospital mortality. ...
