Accurate calculation of hospital length of stay (LOS) from the English Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) is important for a wide range of audit and research purposes. The two methodologies which are commonly used to achieve this differ in their accuracy and complexity. We compare these methods an...
Provides empirical evidences to the extent to which length of stay reductions are responsible for decreasing hospital costs in the United States. Effect of rising health care costs on the lengths of hospitalizations; Calculation of the cost of elasticity of length of stay; Overestimation of the ...
We investigated multiple machine learning techniques including feature engineering, regression, and classification trees to predict the length of stay (LoS) of all the hospital procedures currently available in the dataset. Whereas many researchers focus on LoS prediction for a specific disease, a unique...

For instance, the length of a patient’s stay in the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital could be categorised as: short (1-2 days), moderate (3-7 days), long (8-14 days), or extremely long (more than 14 days). Likewise, the number of times a criminal offender re-enters the ...
The influx of hospital patients has become common in recent years. Hospital management departments need to redeploy healthcare resources to meet the massive medical needs of patients. In this process, the hospital length of stay (LOS) of different patients is a crucial reference to the management...
