Abstract
The STS risk model was reliably predictive of short and extended LOS but did not allow prediction of exact LOS in days. Accounting for potentially modifiable clinical variables, such as low hematocrit and blood transfusion, especially in elective patients, should lead to shorter LOS, higher satisfaction, and reduced financial burden.
