Portuguese term or phrase: hospitalização por permanência
"redução importante na hospitalização por permanência (26 em 2002 para 20,5 em 2007)"


Trata-se de um texto sobre melhorias nos indicadores de saúde de uma população.

Inicialmente, pensei que poderia ser o número médio de dias que um paciente fica internado. Porém, os números me parecem muito elevados para que seja isso.

Os colegas têm alguma sugestão?

Obrigada,

Maria Helena
