Project lay summary
This study aims to investigate the possibility of deriving automatic information from text fields on treatments received and illness severity, looking at their relationships with the length of time spent in inpatient care.
Project aim
Investigate possibility of coding variables from free-text representing treatment process, illness severity and no longer needing to be in hospital, and modelling their effect on LOS.
Project rationale
More satisfactory explanation of variation in LOS and difficulties with quantitative approaches to it.
Cohort Variables
Event location variables; Event date variables; Age
Output Variables
Events, assessments and correspondence fields. May be some need for basic demographic variables as they exist in the database.
