Abstract

Background: One of the effective indicators used to determine the efficiency and optimal use of hospital resources is the Length of stay (LOS). Then, we aimed to determine LOS and its related factors in Iran. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines using the online databases,Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, SID, MagIran, and Medlib from 1995 to 2022 using a combination of medical subject. STATA version 11 used for data analysis. Results: Overall, 75 (cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control) reports were identified. The average Length of stay in Iranian hospitals was 6. 7 (95% CI: 5. 32-7. 74) d. There was a significant relationship between the Length of stay in the hospital and different wards of hospital (P=0. 001). The average of men’,LOS was longer than women were [6. 9 (95% CI: 5. 32-7. 74) vs. 3. 9 (95% CI: 1. 67-9. 41)]. Moreover, the average LOS before and after the Health Transformation Plan (HTP) in Iran has changed, so that it has increased from 5. 8 (95% CI: 4. 39 7. 86) to 7. 1 (95% CI: 5. 59-9. 25) d after HTP (P=0. 30). Conclusion: The average Length of stay of patients in Iranian hospitals is more than the expected index of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education and is in the unfavorable range (> four days). Moreover, considering the direct effect of the type of departments on LOS,therefore, hospital managers should pay more attention to hospital processes using new process-oriented and customer-oriented management approaches.
