Factors That Influence Length of Stay for In-Patient Gynaecology Surgery: Is The Case Mix Group (CMG) or Type of Procedure More Important?

Factors Associated with Longer Length of Hospital Stay After Primary Elective Ankle Surgery for End-Stage Ankle Arthritis

“…Similar to studies of patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty 16,24 , female sex was a risk factor for a longer length of stay. Our data also demonstrated that ASA grades were associated with a longer length of stay 25,26 , where patients classified as ASA grade 1 had a significantly shorter length of stay compared with those classified as ASA grades 2 and 3.…”

American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status classification

“…[5–9] Moreover, the predictive impact of the ASA classification was studied in a prospective study with 295 consecutive total abdominal hysterectomy patients and it was reported that ASA scores are correlated with total blood loss during surgery. [10] In particular, ASA score III is a predictor of greater blood loss, and therefore transfusion units required as compared to lower ASA class patients.…”

A cross-sectional survey of Australian anesthetists’ and surgeons’ perceptions of preoperative risk stratification and prehabilitation

“…Studies have shown correlations between the ASA-PS in postoperative outcomes such as infection, anastomotic failure, pulmonary complications, length of stay, and mortality. In a range of surgical cohorts including orthopedic, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, and thoracic, [49][50][51][52][53][54][55] the ASA score is simple and can be performed rapidly at the bedside, but it carries significant inter-rater variation and is therefore thought to lack discriminatory power 56 compared with more complex but informative risk scores. 57…”
