partial disruption of cerebral oxygen supply. The physical and cognitive sequelae of adults …

Delayed discharge for non-clinical reasons (bed-blocking) is characteristic of pathologies
associated with ageing, loss of functional capacity and dependence such as stroke. The …

Current studies on bed-blocking or delayed discharge for non-medical reasons report
important variations depending on the country or setting under study. Research on this …

BACKGROUND: Addressing nonmedical reasons for delays in hospital discharge is
important for improving the flow of patients through acute care hospital beds. Because this …

Delayed discharge for non-clinical reasons shares common characteristics with hip
procedures. We sought to quantify the length of stay and related costs of hip procedures and …

Background Improved identification of patients with complex needs early during
hospitalisation may help target individuals at risk of delayed discharge with interventions to …
