Model-based Prediction of Length of Stay for Rehabilitating Stroke Patients

Model-based Prediction of Length of Stay for Rehabilitating Stroke Patients

Accurate length-of-stay (LOS) estimates have an impact on medical costs for stroke patients. Most studies have reported only descriptive sample means or have provided linear-model-based estimates for LOS. This study calculated point and interval estimates by treating hospital discharge as an event,...
