Hubungan antara Length of Stay dan Tingkat Rehospitalisasi 6 Bulan pada Pasien Heart Failure with Reduce Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) di RSUP HAM Tahun 2022

Abstract

Background. Globally, heart disease has been the highest cause of death throughout the world for the last 20 years. Risk stratification regarding length of stay can help provide good opportunities for patient care by identifying patients who require special attention and specific interventions such as education and initiation of specific therapy. This study aims to determine the relationship between length of stay and 6 month rehospitalization rate in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction at RSUP HAM in 2022. This study uses analytical methods with a cross sectional design using the total sampling method. The number of samples in this study was 109 people. The results of this study show that the demographic characteristics in this study were mostly male, 67 patients (61.5%), and aged 56 - 65 years, 47 patients (43.1%). The length of stay for heart failure patients in this study was 8.58 ± 1.86. A total of 58 patients (53.2%) in this study experienced rehospitalization within a period of 6 months. There is a significant relationship between the length of patient stay and the incidence of rehospitalization in heart failure patients.
