In keeping with the study design, these patients cannot be discharged between admission and first ventilation; ignoring this fact leads to length bias [ 2].
The present scheme led to length-deviant group, length-rigid group and also led to the formation of "length-normal group", where superfamilies which neither behaved like deviant nor rigid were grouped into.
Gore et al. showed that shortening of the limb leads to length-tension disadvantage for the abductor muscles and subsequent decrease in strength [ 27].
Occurrence of complications can lead to prolonged length of stay (LOS).
One of the reasons is because DSR route discovery may lead to unpredictable length of control packets and data packets.
They increased their lead to a length by the time they had reached "The Crab Tree" pub.
Cognitive impairments may lead to increased length of stay within psychiatric services in a variety of ways.
More complex dental treatment needs may lead to increased length of dental appointments, resulting in lower PPY.
Given that antibiotic-resistant infections lead to longer length of stay a complex bidirectional relationship is likely.
However, this may lead to leg length discrepancy, more so in younger subjects, and also to overgrowth of the greater trochanter (Howorth 1966).
