Investigating Length of Stay Patterns and Its Predictors in the South Wales Trauma Network

CONCLUSION: Our finding supports prior evidence indicating elderly people are vulnerable to longer stays. Moreover, concerning the types of admission wards, patients admitted to rehabilitation wards who underwent more than 2 hospitalisations also faced an increased risk of prolonged stay. Based on these results, policymakers and healthcare providers should contemplate expanding the allocation of medical resources to this demographic to mitigate the length of stay and optimise associated healthcare costs.PMID:38505372 | PMC:PMC10949546 | DOI:10.1177/27536351241237866
