GOAL: Efficient patient flow is critical at Tampa General Hospital (TGH), a large academic tertiary care center and safety net hospital with more than 50,000 discharges and 30,000 surgical procedures per year. TGH collaborated with GE HealthCare Comm...
BACKGROUND: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is considered an important marker of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. However, its potential role in predicting length of stay (LOS), especially in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular...
BACKGROUND: Length of stay (LOS) is a key indicator of posthepatectomy care quality. While clinical factors influencing LOS are identified, the balance between clinical and nonclinical influences remains unquantified. We developed an artificial intel...
BACKGROUND: The relative proportion of clinical compared with nonclinical influences on length of stay after colectomy has never been measured. We developed a novel machine-learning framework that quantifies the proportion of length of stay after col...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establi...
OBJECTIVE: This study was to explore the factors associated with prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) in patients with intracranial aneurysms (IAs) undergoing endovascular interventional embolization and construct prediction model machine learning...
OBJECTIVE: The incidence of caesarean sections (CSs) has increased significantly in recent years, especially in developed countries. This study aimed to identify the factors that most influence the length of hospital stay (LOS) after a CS, using data...
BACKGROUND: The growing demand for healthcare services challenges patient flow management in health systems. Alternative Level of Care (ALC) patients who no longer need acute care yet face discharge barriers contribute to prolonged stays and hospital...
BACKGROUND: The Adelaide Score is an artificial intelligence system that integrates objective vital signs and laboratory tests to predict likelihood of hospital discharge.
