Duration of ICU stay is approximately 12 days (as a sensible average). Our patients do not quickly recover, and so the patient turnover in ICU is slow. With positive cases increasing, ICU resource-consumption and bed-occupation are further amplified. https://t.co/xXUs6gw1JU

AI synopsis
What people are saying
Several discussions highlight both the median lengths of stay and regional differences, such as claims that the average hospital stay for COVID-19 patients is approximately 14 days or 5 days outside of China. Participants use terminology like 'unavailability of ICU beds' and 'resource consumption,' which indicates a serious concern for healthcare implications. The tone of urgency and factual engagement contributes to a sense of the publication's significant impact on public health discussions.
Most discussions show support for the publication's findings, with many users affirming its conclusions about hospital stay duration.
Posts demonstrate a high level of curiosity regarding hospital stays, with participants actively discussing various statistics and implications.
Some posts engage deeply with the data and consider different factors that could influence the length of stay.
Participants believe that the research has a significant influence on understanding hospital capacity during the pandemic, emphasizing its relevance.
Abstract in brief
- The COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for healthcare resources, particularly in hospitals and ICUs, necessitating estimates of patient hospital stays to plan for future needs.
- A systematic review of 52 studies on the length of hospital stay (LoS) for COVID-19 patients showed median LoS of 14 days in China and 5 days outside China, while ICU stays ranged from 8 to 7 days respectively.
- Differences in hospital stay durations may stem from varying admission and discharge criteria between countries, with discharged patients generally staying longer than those who did not survive.

@videoklipp_ @luke_b70 @samanthamaiden I’ve read a ton of different reports. So many varying stats. I’m guessing country, experience and waves all impactful. This is a good one as it’s an amalgamation from different countries. Either way Covid stays longer than average icu. https://t.co/Y6tVltFce6

@RonnySuarez_ @INSColombia “For ICU, …. (median (IQR) of 8 (5–13) days for China and 7 (4–11) days outside of China). There was a visible difference by discharge status, with patients who were discharged alive having longer LoS than those who died during their admission,” https://t.co/S1YEETKAJV
/6 #thread #covid We know that ex-China the median number of days in ICU is 7, so I assumed 100% of ICU admitted subjects in the United States were discharged within exactly 7 days. Here's a reference: https://t.co/GPkKvVuI1n

the CDC survey can allow estimation of currently hospitalized by using consensus "length of stay" (LoS) of Covid hospitalization which is a mean of 5 days. https://t.co/7FhY49xsSr
Why are ICU beds are almost at capacity? It's not just about the number of beds Bc it takes a long time for the COVID ICU patient to recover Median LOS (Length of Stay) for ICU patients is 7 days https://t.co/SnDXTgdijk 4/x https://t.co/s3WtIsvgAa
@George62989794 @earl_buckridge @REHWW83 @RichardBarrow Infection to transmission can take as few as 2 days. Infection to onset of symptoms (& hospital admission) can take as few as four days. Hospitalization to death have medians as low as 4 days. Viruses aren't trains & don't care about your timetables. Eg: https://t.co/fqWt6BqyTK

@Wellsie_ @AlexSadler94 I can’t see how “can you please post the source” has been wrong wording but I apologise if my words have upset you. COVID patients take up more time in hospital care than other patients which means that they get new ones while old ones haven’t left https://t.co/4faFc2vDZY
@Bati_Goal77 @parallilos πολύ χονδρικά (https://t.co/CSo4ezR4ir) η μέση παραμονή σε ICU για covid είναι 15μέρες. Οπότε αυτά τα λεφτά εν τέλει θα εξασφάλιζαν πρόσβαση σε ΜΕΘ σε 260*365/15=6500 ασθενείς
@Stupette1974 @DraganOrlich @RMConservative Average stay is 4-53 days w/in China, 4-21 days outside of China. https://t.co/YpcgNdwGQ8.
@WesLeyDoutCold @Jim_Jordan Great statement. Now back it up with statistics. How severe was the case? Was the hospital used for isolation or treatment? Was ICU or a Ventilator needed? Here. LoS (Length of Stay) study: https://t.co/fpHcj9Jrvg
@JustinWolfers ² https://t.co/2nVAlrlyUl
(Median duration of ICU visit for Covid-19 is about 7 days: https://t.co/o2nRBpHhhU ) 5/
@jstevewhite @ron2718 (2) Will note, though - the LENGTH and severity of a hospital stay varies age with age and pre-conditions (https://t.co/1h9NH6Y301), and the infected pool today would almost have to occupy fewer ICU beds, and all beds for less time, than the pop during April Peak.
