Analysis of factors that influence neurosurgical length of hospital stay among newly diagnosed pediatric brain tumor patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Postoperative length of stay (LOS) carries a high burden of healthcare costs. In resource-intense specialties such as neurosurgery, it is imperative to identify factors that influence LOS to improve care. The current study investigates the potential for variables that affect clinical presentation, tumor characteristics, treatment modalities, and postoperative complications to impact overall LOS in pediatric brain tumor patients.
