METHODS: The National Health Insurance Research Database was used for the years 2001-2003 and included a total of 29,373 patients with schizophrenia divided equally into four groups according to LOS of index hospitalization. After adjusting for hospital, physician and patient characteristics, a multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between LOS and 30-day readmission rates. RESULTS: After discharge from their index hospitalization, 12,468 (42.5%) patients with schizophrenia were readmitted within 30 days. The adjusted odds ratio for 30-day readmission rates was increased for shorter LOS. CONCLUSIONS: Healthcare providers should exert caution while trying to reduce LOS within the current cost-conscious environment and balance it with creating a minimal status necessary for discharge. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=13679 ------>authors2=Tian WH ------>authors3=Chen CS ------>authors4=Liu TC ------>authors5=Tsai SY ------>authors6=Lee HC ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Lin HC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=0 ------>updateTitle=The association between readmission rates and length of stay for schizophrenia: a 3-year population-based study. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no=2-3 ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2006 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=4 |
