Due to these constraints, clinicians often do not receive a full picture of a patient's hemodynamic state, which can result in misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment, leading to inefficient use of hospital resources, increased length of stay, and death [1 5].
Of many parameters to estimate utilization of resources, only length of stay (LOS) is systematically collected.
Due to these constraints, clinicians often do not receive a full picture of a patient's hemodynamic state, which can result in misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment, leading to inefficient use of hospital resources, increased length of stay, and death [ 1- 5].
Physician profiling is the practice whereby the practice pattern of a single physician or a group is expressed as some measure of the use of resources and/or length of stay during a defined period for the population served.
The cohorts were compared for the following measures of hospital resource utilization: length of stay, number of procedures, and mean total cost.
Logistic/linear regression models evaluated characteristics potentially associated with actual resource use (length of IV therapy, length of hospital stay [LOS], IV-to-oral antibiotic switch), and ES and ED (using literature-based and expert-verified criteria) outcomes.
During the development of genome and transcriptome resources, full-length transcripts can greatly increase the accuracy of genome annotation and transcriptome characterization when compared to the transcript tags assembled from short RNA-seq reads.
Because housing is considered critical for sober living, inadequate housing resources impact lengths of stay: [Clients] know if they go back to their homeland there's all the drinking and drug use going on [so they] relocate, [but] sometimes we have people staying three weeks to a month later waiting for housing because of the [lack of] availability and the funding.
We undertook analyses of an existing large dataset from a nationally representative survey to assess [ 1] the prevalence and factors associated with CDI among pneumonia and UTI and [ 2] the impact of CDI on in-hospital mortality and health resource utilization (length of stay [LOS] and total charges).
Firstly, in terms of tourism routes, urban visitors tend to visit villages with similar resources if the length of stay is within two days, on the other hand, if the length is longer they prefer villages with different themes.
