Mean wait times also vary across groups as anticipated, but there is also considerable variation even within the group never in OOS, where wait times are lowest: the 25th percentile is 1.6 months and the 75th percentile is 3.4 month.
According to the statistical study by Remick and Love (2006), the mean wait times between successive events are 7.12, 16.55, 42.22, and 121.40 days for Kp ≥ 5, 6, 7, and 8, respectively.
No statistically significant treatment-related differences in long wait time or in mean wait time were observed; however, postnatal CAPS-treated mice had lower, albeit, not statistically significantly, long wait times and mean wait times.
The n in parentheses aside number of ORs refers to the number of simulation runs performed The mean wait times using a multiple server, multiple priorities waiting line model were similar to those obtained using Monte Carlo simulation (Table 6).
Increasing the number of available ORs from 3 to 5 decreased utilization from 74.8 to 45%%; mean wait times likewise decreased, reaching just a few minutes for 5 ORs for most urgency classes.
In a four OR model, mean wait times between the two methods did not differ by more than 35 min, while the 3 OR model showed differences of 296 min for urgent3 patients.
