摘要：

Length of stay (LOS) for elderly nursing home patients is estimated by converting discharges from the 1985 National Nursing Home Survey into an admission cohort and by adding reported immediate previous nursing home LOS to the surveyed LOS. The ultimate length of aggregated stays is longer than unaggregated estimates for elderly discharged residents. Although the mean length of aggregated stays is 19 months, the mean unaggregated stay is only 13 months. © 1990 The Gerontological Society of America.
