Primary outcomes include length-for-age Z-scores (LAZ) measured 24 months after intervention initiation in target children and diarrhoea prevalence in compound children <36 months old at enrolment.
We did not include length of stay for AMI due to the potential for differences across patients in appropriate length of stay.
In addition, the study's data sources do not include length of residence for immigrants in Barcelona or Spain and consequently adjustment by this variable, which also influences healthcare utilisation [ 16, 31, 40, 41], could not be performed.
63 A trial to assess the impact of rural sanitation on diarrhoea includes length for age as a secondary outcome but is still underway.
Rather than introduce a complete classification system in one stroke, these countries have phased in DRGs, in some cases with hospitals volunteering to participate as a first step (Korea), and in others using a blend of different units for hospital payment, including length of stay, and fee-for-service (Japan).
In addition, data for each patient was labelled, anonymised and collated into an inventory which included length of recordings for each interaction (RT).
Relevant emergency spells from the SUS dataset including length of stay (LOS) for each spell were recorded for patients and classified according to receipt of LTOT status (ever v never) along with the start date of the service and, if relevant, the date at which LTOT was withdrawn.
To examine opioid replacement therapy in pregnancy and effect on neonatal outcomes, including length of hospital stay for neonatal abstinence syndrome.
We evaluated two different types of PUMFs: (a) a geographic PUMF which contains the patients' province but reduced clinical quasi-identifiers (no length of hospital stay information), and (b) a non-geographical clinical PUMF where the lack of geographic detail would allow for including length of stay.
Data collected on consecutive patients aged <18 years with a PICU stay >48 hours included length of storage (days) for transfused RBC units, daily severity of illness score (multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)), PICU length of stay, and 28-day mortality.
89 We recommend that adequate planning should be undertaken (including length of time booked for procedure, endoscopist and nursing staff skills and endoscopic equipment) so that before an attempt at advanced polypectomy, the endoscopist has a high level of confidence that complete resection can be achieved in a single procedure (GRADE of evidence: very low; Strength of recommendation: strong).
