Efficiency of Zero-Inflated Generalized Poisson Regression Model on Hospital Length of Stay Using Real Data and Simulation Study

Abstract: Background: An important feature of Poisson distribution is the equality of mean and variance. However, additional zeroes in the data may cause over-dispersion in most cases, in which zero-inflated models are recommended. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of zero-inflated models to predict hospital length of stay (LOS) using real data and simulated study. Methods: This study was conducted on patients admitted at Shariati hospital, Tehran, Iran. Zero inflated Poisson (ZIP), zero inflated negative… Show more

“…Zeroinflated models have become fairly popular in the research literature because of applying these models need more advance statistical package. This model has been applied in a number of health related issues such as modeling DMFT index, number of falls in elderly, number of return to blood donation physical activity, and length of hospital stay (16)(17)(18)(19)(20). According to the review literature by the author this model has never been applied on mammography screening data.…”

“…Zero inflated Poisson models (ZIP) (Lambert, 1992) and Zero inflated negative binomial models (ZINB) (Greene, 1994) are used to deal with these characteristics. Although used in many areas such as psychology (Atkins and Gallop, 2007), computer science (Souza et al, 2016) and several other applied fields (Farhadi Hassankiadeh et al, 2018;Njambi Wanjau, 2019), if the non-zero part of data is over-dispersed, the parameter estimates of a ZIP can be biased just as standard errors may be underestimated. Zero-inflated models are also used in the analisys of longitudinal data (Neelon et al, 2010;Rose et al, 2006).…”
