In some areas, frozen-bed zones comprise large proportions of the bed (e.g. near the ice divide in continental areas), whilst in other areas they constitute isolated "islands" in areas dominated by thawed-bed conditions.
Given the high proportion of bed days and the high cost associated with the care of people with psychotic disorders, as well as the fact that psychosis is one of the three super-classes in the NTPS, this study focuses on the determinants of LOS for people with SMI.
Considering also these ITNs, the proportion of bed nets being ITNs reached nearly 50% during the follow-up (table 3).
In other studies in subsets of participating women, we found that the proportion of bed nets that were ITNs increased from 69% in 1997 1999 to 89% in 2001 2006 (SJR, unpublished).
We found that the proportion of bed days in core units, out of all HE bed days, were significantly lower in university hospitals than in non-university hospitals (64% versus 79%; other data of the analysis not shown here).
Currently, half of all acute hospital beds are occupied by people over 65 years of age [ 3], and it is projected that the demand for hospital bed days will grow faster than population growth, with the proportion of bed days devoted to older people increasing to over 70% by 2050 [ 2].
The model predicts the particle size distribution of ground particles, the particle breakage frequency, and the proportion of original particles in the bed which were not ground.
Following the bed shortage, the proportion of patients admitted for monitoring decreased, the proportion of intubated patients increased, and patients were transferred out of the ICU sooner.
Excess bed days of care represent the proportion of hospital bed days during which patients did not meet criteria for acute care.
These are the proportion of occupied beds over total beds (Occuppc) and the average length of stay, which is calculated as the ratio of total inpatient days over total number of patients (LoS).
