Nosocomial infection, length of stay, and time-dependent bias.

Jan Beyersmann1, Thomas Kneib, Martin Schumacher, Petra Gastmeier.   

Abstract

Nosocomial pneumonia and its impact on length of stay are major healthcare concerns. From an epidemiological perspective, nosocomial pneumonia is a time-dependent event. Any statistical analysis that does not explicitly model this time dependency will be biased. The bias is not redeemed by adjusting for baseline information.
