Delineation of factors associated with prolonged length of stay after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair leads to a clinical pathway and improves quality of care
2016
Background
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services define laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) as outpatient procedure. We identified our institutional length of stay (LOS) to be above the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) benchmark of 1 day [interquartile range (IQR) 2 days]. This study was undertaken to investigate risk factors associated with prolonged hospital stay and design an intervention to decrease median LOS.
