Because this study focused on length of stay for uncomplicated deliveries, deliveries with a high likelihood of having complications (i.e., those greater than the 97.5th percentile for length of stay) were excluded from analysis.([subsections])
The average length of stay for vaginal deliveries increased 29%, from 1.4 days before the law to 1.8 days after the law (Table 1).
The average length of stay for initial stays in a transfer episode is 5.7 days.
The average total charge for the initial stay in transfer episodes is $4,820, which is less than the average charge for all PPS discharges ($6,478) and reflects the shorter length of stay for initial stays.
"This creates further incentive, which tends to speed up the process of moving toward and working on '

Figure 2, above, shows lengths of
stay for PacMed, plotted yearly from 1982 through 1986.
But they did
stay for several minutes, just as we'd practiced over and over.
Figure 2, page 17, and figure 3, page 18, show average charges and average length of
stay for each severity group.
