Guide for use: | Formula: LOS (postnatal) = mother's separation date - baby's date of birth Postnatal LOS is calculated by subtracting the baby's date of birth from the mother's date of separation. It includes contract days and leave days.If the mother's separation date and the baby's date of birth are on the same date, count the LOS as 1 day. In a multiple pregnancy, the date of birth of the first baby born should be used to calculate the mother's postnatal LOS. Postnatal length of stay refers only to the episode of care associated with the birth. To calculate the total length of stay, use the data element - Episode of admitted patient care - length of stay (including leave days) total. |
