Hospitalization Utilization Metric After Major Oncologic Head and Neck Surgery With Microvascular Free Flap

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The primary length of stay (PLOS) metric fails to capture added time, costs, and reduced patient quality of life (QOL) associated with readmissions. To address these limitations, we propose a novel metric, the hospitalization utilization metric (HUM), which integrates PLOS and readmission LOS (RLOS). Study Design Retrospective review
