Outcomes in acute medicine - Evidence from extended observations on readmissions, hospital length of stay and mortality outcomes.

CONCLUSION: 30-day in-hospital mortality showed a linear trend to reduce over time at unaltered LOS and readmission rates. LOS showed linear dependency on clinical complexity; interventions aimed at reducing LOS may not be appropriate beyond a certain point. PMID: 31196741 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
