Abstract:
This study evaluated daily trends of hospitalisations in public and privately-owned hospitals in the Lombardy region (Italy). Discharge abstract data for 2004-2005 and data regarding bed capacity were used to evaluate number of admissions, discharges, inpatients, and bed occupancy rates. Daily trends were uniform within all weeks of the year with some seasonal fluctuations observed (e.g. during holiday season). Average occupancy rates were found to vary according to the size of the hospital (greater average occupancy rates in larger hospitals) and the level of emergency care services provided.
