Determination of factors influencing the length of stay in a gynecological hospital among patients with uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts

Abstract

Annotation. A combined (retrospective + prospective) study was conducted, involving 150 patients from gynecological departments of three different hospitals in the city who were hospitalized due to the need for surgical treatment of uterine fibroids and/or ovarian cysts. The purpose of this part of the study was to conduct a descriptive analysis of the data collected during the study and to determine the correlations between the factors that affect the length of stay of patients in gynecological departments. Statistical, epidemiological, and sociological methods of analysis were used in the study. The data obtained during the study made it possible to determine the factors affecting the length of stay in the hospital of patients with uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts, which included: the patient's diagnosis (r = 0.13166842); the presence of complications of the main diagnosis (r = 0.240506326); the presence of complications due to the surgical intervention (r = 0.266602573); the presence of concomitant pathology in female patients (r = 0.021249784); type of surgical intervention (r = 0.266390698); volume of surgical intervention (r = 0.1424499). The given results can be useful for more optimal use of the bed fund of inpatient gynecological departments.
