Background Higher mortality rates have been reported in patients admitted to the hospital on weekends. This study aimed to compare maternal mortality ratio (MMR), fetal mortality ratio, and other maternal and neonatal outcomes by day of death or delivery in the United States. Methods Our database consisted of a population-level analysis of live births and maternal and fetal deaths between 2004 and 2014 in the United States from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. We also examined the relationship between these deaths and various documented maternal and fetal clinical conditions. Results A total of 2,061 maternal deaths occurred on weekends and 5,510 deaths on weekdays. During the same period of time, 65,063 and 210,851 cases of fetal demise were delivered on weekends and on weekdays, respectively. Maternal mortality was significantly higher on weekends than weekdays (22.9 vs. 15.3/100,000 live births, p < 0.001) as was fetal mortality (7.21 vs. 5.85/100,000, p < 0.001), despite a lower frequency of serious comorbidities among women delivering on weekends. Conclusion Our data demonstrate a significant increase in the U.S. MMR and stillbirth delivery on weekends. Relative representation of antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum deaths cannot be ascertained from these data.

Abstract Researchers studying the language of law agree that there is a number of certain features which are characteristic of the legal genre, regardless of the language of the legal text. Among the most commonly listed features of lingua legis are: conventionalised sentences, performative verbs, Latinisms, euphemisms, and time expressions. The paper provides a discussion of these features, as well as provides examples of their occurrence in Polish, English, and Indonesian legal texts. The analised corpus includes the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, The Constitution of the United States of America with amendments, Polish and Indonesian Civil Codes (clauses concerning obligations), together with a set of parallel texts of rental agreements and real estate sale contracts.
