A number of strategies have been proposed to prevent preterm deliveries: tocolytics, bed rest, hospitalization, home uterine activity monitoring, cerclage, and most recently, progesterone.
We assessed the number of inpatient hospitalizations, inpatient bed days, hospital outpatient clinic visits, and emergency room visits.
The number of inpatient hospitalizations, inpatient bed days, hospital outpatient clinic visits, and emergency room visits was analyzed using frequency distributions, median, and interquartile range (IQR).
Covariates were chosen to minimize the model QIC score and included sex, age, race, income, hospital disposition (routine vs. other), died during hospitalization, payer, hospital bed size, hospital region, and year.
Carter linked 1991 1993 Medicaid reimbursement data from Massachusetts with specific facility-level organizational and structural attributes and showed that nursing home case-mix and local hospital bed supply levels predicted hospitalization rates of NH residents [ 45].
Multipliers derived from previous studies (9 – 11 ) were applied to the number of laboratory reports received to produce estimates of the numbers of community cases, days of illness, hospitalizations, hospital bed-days occupied, and deaths for 1982 1987, 1988–1998, and 1999 2011 that were attributable to SE4.
Patients with severe burns usually require long-term bed rest during hospitalization, and have limited mobility once leaving the hospital.
For the purpose of conducting a nationwide study on rural EDs, this work focused on EDs providing 24/7 physician coverage located in "Rural small town" communities in hospitals with acute care hospitalization beds.
As the correlation between guest bed accommodation and hospitalization rates is substantial and significant, and the defined area corresponds well with the location of known winter sport resorts, the definition of the winter sport area is considered appropriate.
The reports of 69 healthcare organizations (comprising 17,483 full-time hospitalization beds) were examined, including 17 university hospitals (UH), 16 public general hospitals (GH), 25 PC, and 11 RF.
