  2. 1. Hospital length stay : register-based studies on breast cancer surgery

    Author : Rikard Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Length of stay; breast cancer; breast surgery; social factors;

    Abstract : The present investigation focused on three main questions: what factors can determine length of stay for primary surgery for breast cancer? Can these factors be attributed to the decreasing trend in mean length of stay for primary breast-cancer surgery? And can there be any adverse effect of declining length of stay, such as prolonged sick leave, following breast-cancer surgery? For the four studies of the thesis, routinely collected data was used. In study I the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to describe the trend in mean length of stay of women surgically treated for breast cancer and to investigate the effect of the increasing use of breast-conserving surgery on the decreasing trend in mean length of stay.
