The head fire goes forward by jumps, especially for small values of the fire impact length.
For homogeneous systems, the effect of firebrands on spread rate and burned area is strengthened when the fire impact length decreases and the characteristic spotting distance increases.
The outcomes that health care carefully tracks are: dying; having an adverse impact; length of wait in the ER; filing bankruptcy because of medical bills; and lawsuits.
Also, further work should be considered to assess how standardization may impact length-of-stay and cost summarization commonly used in health economic analyses.
In a context of ageing population, where incidence of HZ increases dramatically after 50 years of age, HZ impact length of stay and contributes to demonstrating the clinical and economic impact of HZ.
Compared with patients undergoing TKR, those having THR had proportionately more post-operative complications 222 (26.6%), though most (118 of 222) of these were minor and did not require intervention or significantly impact length of stay.
Nevertheless, the fact that depression negatively impacted length of stay remains a clinically significant result.
This "growth" variable directly impacts length of clinic ownership, which we have demonstrated as affecting estimates for hospitalization and mortality rates.
A recent Cochrane review concluded that care pathways result in reduced in-hospital complications and improved documentation, without negatively impacting length of stay or hospital costs [ 25].
While severity of illness clearly impacts length of stay, other factors, such as reimbursement schemes (which may reward or penalize hospitals - or patients - for short stays), cultural expectations, clinical guidelines, and alternatives for further care, may also play a role.
