Duration of hospitalization prior to surgery.

Abstract 
The interval between admission to the hospital and first visit to an operating room was examined for all patients using this facility at University Hospitals of Cleveland in February of 1966 and 1967, and hospital records were searched in order to learn the circumstances surrounding the prolonged preoperative stay of a group of patients who underwent initial surgery two or more days following admission. Relationships observed between the duration of presurgical hospitalization and the patient's age, urgency of need for hospitalization, and admission on private or staff service are described, and the explanatory circumstances found in instances of prolonged presurgical hospitalization are summarized. Implications of these observations for the more effective use of hospital facilities are discussed.
