Length of Stay and Resource Utilization:
There was statistical significance observed with the mean length of stay (LOS) and the mean cost of care between the two groups. Higher mean LOS (10.8±14.9 vs. 6.3±8.5, P<0.01) and mean total charges (37054 $ vs. 18080 $, P<0.01) were observed in the ESRD with LGIB group. (Table 5)
