Disease relevance of Length of Stay

 

Psychiatry related information on Length of Stay

  • There was a significant difference between employed and non-employed groups in terms of GCS, post-traumatic amnesia (PTA), in-patient rehabilitation length of stay (LOS) and GOS at 6 and at 12 months post-injury [6].
 

High impact information on Length of Stay

  • Admission illness severity, average length of stay, and admission albumin and prealbumin levels for this low nutrient group did not differ significantly from those of the remaining patients [7].
  • For the five diseases combined; length of stay dropped 24% and in-hospital mortality declined from 16.1% to 12.6% after the PPS was introduced (P less than .05) [8].
  • To examine this possibility we studied the case mix, length of stay, and number of procedures for 65,032 patients listed as self-pay or free care, Blue Cross, or Medicaid at 52 hospitals in the Boston, Mass, area during 1983 [9].
  • Although patients admitted to fellowship hospitals tended to have a higher severity of illness, both unadjusted (6.3 +/- 9.0 vs. 7.1 +/- 7.5 days; P < 0.01) and risk-adjusted length of stay were somewhat shorter [10].
  • Dimensions of psychosocial problem severity and length of stay are, therefore, important considerations in the treatment of cocaine dependence [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Length of Stay

 

Biological context of Length of Stay

 

Anatomical context of Length of Stay

  • Patients with leukocyte filters had the following findings compared with nonfilter patients: The time to extubation 10.3 versus 16.2 hours (P = 0.009), postoperative respiratory quotient 407 versus 320 (P = 0.02), total length of stay 5.4 versus 7.2 days (P = 0.04) [22].
  • OBJECTIVES: To examine the frequency and reasons for rehospitalization in persons with acute traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) during follow-up years and to examine the association between rehospitalization and demographics, neurologic category, payer sources, length of stay (LOS), discharge motor FIM instrument score, and discharge residence [23].
  • There was a significant difference with respect to Injury Severity Score, Glasgow Coma Scale score, Revised Trauma Score, units of packed red blood cells transfused, length of stay, intensive care unit length of stay, mean splenic injury grade, and cost between patients observed initially and those operated on initially [24].
  • Background factors, such as ISS, AIS scores for various trauma sites, length of stay in ICU and length of ventilatory days, as well as the fungal culture derived from blood, sputum, urine and pharyngeal smear, and the serological diagnosis were compared for the seven groups [25].
  • CONCLUSION: Mitral valve plasty for MR is efficient and associated with shorter CPB and ischemia times as well as length of stay in ICU, together with a lower device cost, which makes MVP more cost effective than MVR [26].
 

Associations of Length of Stay with chemical compounds

  • In multivariable models, oral-only patients had a median length of stay that was 1.3 days shorter (95% CI: 0.4% to 2.2% days; P = 0.008) and a median antibiotic cost that was 56 dollars lower (95% CI: 53 dollars to 58 dollars; P <0.0001) than that of patients in the parenteral group, but mortality was similar [27].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Heparin infusion after successful coronary intervention is associated with more minor bleeding and vascular injury, prolonged length of stay and increased cost [28].
  • LAAM was as effective as methadone on all outcome measures, including length of stay in treatment [29].
  • Median length of stay was 32 (23-52) days on glutamine, which was not significantly different from the control value of 35 (25-55) days [30].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Predischarge initiation of carvedilol in stabilized patients hospitalized for HF improved the use of beta-blockade at 60 days without increasing side effects or length of stay [31].
 

Gene context of Length of Stay

  • In the NINDS rt-PA Stroke Trial, the average length of stay was significantly shorter in tPA-treated patients than in placebo-treated patients (10.9 versus 12.4 days; p = 0.02) and more tPA patients were discharged to home than to inpatient rehabilitation or a nursing home (48% versus 36%; p = 0.002) [32].
  • Mean length of stay decreased (2.7 days for wave 1, 2.2 days for wave 3, p <0.001) [33].
  • During bacteremia, IL-8 also correlated well with patient use of a ventilator (P < 0.01, OR = 2.43, CI = 2.41-311.19), use of vasopressors (P < 0.05, OR = 2.67, CI = 1.79-370.78), length of stay in the hospital (P < 0.01, OR = 3.14, CI = 1.87-988.31), and stay in the ICU (P < 0.01, OR = 2.51, CI = 2.98-449.80) [34].
  • For the case-control study, cases were defined as patients with MRSA BSI; control patients with MSSA BSI were selected in a stepwise manner according to the following matching variables: age, sex, number of comorbidities, severity of underlying illness, and prior length of stay in the hospital [35].
  • Data on process and outcome of care (death and length of stay) were collected retrospectively at 90 days on all prospectively identified COPD admissions over an 8 week period [36].
