Decreasing carotid endarterectomy length of stay at a university hospital.
In 1995, a clinical pathway for carotid endarterectomy patients was instituted at the authors' institution. The effect of this program on length of stay and patient outcomes was investigated. Records of 152 consecutive carotid endarterectomies performed by a single surgeon over a 45-month period with identical technique (general anesthesia, routine shunting, closure with a dacron patch) were re...
متن کاملDetermining Factors Influencing Length of Stay and Predicting Length of Stay Using Data Mining in the General Surgery Department
Background: Length of stay is one of the most important indicators in assessing hospital performance. A shorter stay can reduce the costs per discharge and shift care from inpatient to less expensive post-acute settings. It can lead to a greater readmission rate, better resource management, and more efficient services. Objective: This study aimed to ident...

متن کاملRisk factors for death or stroke after carotid endarterectomy: observations from the Ontario Carotid Endarterectomy Registry.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid endarterectomy is an effective method for preventing strokes if patients do not suffer adverse perioperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative patient risk factors for adverse outcomes (death or nonfatal stroke) after carotid endarterectomy through the use of a large population-based registry from Ontario, Canada.
