BACKGROUND: Length of stay (LOS) is used as an indicator to show the efficacy of hospitals. An increase in hospitalized days is not cost effective and decreases the efficacy of hospitals. Using insurance has some side effects. One of these side effects is increasing the LOS. In this study we attempt to discover the effects of @entity283 ( @entity283 ) on LOS in @entity1 with @entity1187 ( @entity1187 ). METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 260 @entity1 were surveyed. By using Poisson regression, the effects of using @entity283 on LOS were examined. The effects of confounders were also controlled in the model. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated that the relationship between use of @entity283 and LOS is direct. In addition, an increase in age and income also increases the LOS. The average LOS was 4.13 days, while it was 5.31 for @entity283 users, and 3.81 for @entity283 nonusers. CONCLUSION: Government budget is restricted and @entity1187 treatments are costly. Decreasing LOS in @entity1187 @entity1 can help to spend the budget more effectively.
