Abstract
This study was carried out to provide basic data for prevention of death from injuries and traumas by analyzing the characteristics of length of hospital stay of patients with injuries and traumas, utilizing in-depth investigation data of discharged injuries. The study subjects were 233 patients discharged from January 1 to December 31 in 2014 whom the final treatment result was 'death' and the main diagnosis were injuries and accidental external causes(S00-T98). According to the research findings, the length of hospital stay of females was longer than that of males. Based on the main diagnosis, the longest length of hospital stay had complication of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts(T85). In conclusion, it is necessary to develop a policy to identify the factors affecting the length of hospital stays of patients and to manage them intensively.
