background: it is necessary to consider into hospital emergency services' quantity and quality in different aspects such as time-to-provider, left-without-treatment and length-of-stay. the aimof this research was to identify the effect of these factors on patient satisfaction in training hospitals. methods: in this descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study, the sample size was calculated...

One of the most important problem in target tracking is Line Of Sight (LOS) rate estimation for using from PN (proportional navigation) guidance law. This paper deals on estimation of position and LOS rates of target with respect to the pursuer from available noisy RF seeker and tracker measurements. Due to many important for exact estimation on tracking problems must target position and Line O...

OBJECT There is wide regional variability in the volume of procedures performed for similar surgical patients throughout the United States. We investigated the association of the intensity of neurosurgical care (defined as the average annual number of neurosurgical procedures per capita) with mortality, length of stay (LOS), and rate of unfavorable discharge for inpatients after neurosurgical p...

Background Measuring and understanding main determinants of length of stay (LOS) in emergency departments (EDs) is critical from an operations perspective, since LOS is one of the main performance indicators of ED operations. Therefore, this study analyzes both the main and interaction effects of four widely-used independent determinants of ED-LOS.   Methods The analysis...

PURPOSE Epileptic spasms sometimes begin after the first year of life, and such seizures are recognized as late-onset spasms (LOS). The prognosis of LOS is poor, and a treatment strategy has not been established. This study aimed to assess the short- and long-term effects of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) therapy for LOS. METHODS We investigated the rate of LOS in 22 patients (14 boys and...

delay is one of the principal measures of performance used to determine the level of service (los) at signalized intersections and several methods have been widely used to estimate vehicular delay. very few studies only have been carried out to estimate delay at signalized intersections under mixed traffic conditions prevailing in developing countries like india. in the present study, various p...
