摘要：

BACKGROUND: We aimed to know which factors are associated with inappropriate stays in an internal medicine department. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: We included 1,046 hospitalisations and evaluated the justification of the admission using the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol. RESULTS: 176 (16.8%) stays were considered inappropriate. In a multiple regression model, variables defining an inappropriate stay were the number of days in hospital, diagnosis on admission and the weekly day. CONCLUSION: There are determining factors for inappropriate stays in an internal medicine department.
