FIGURE 5. Hospital length of stay and total hospital days.

FIGURE 5

Mean lengths of stay for IBD-related hospital care decreased over the study period from 10.5 (95% CI, 8.8–12.2) to 6.3 days (95% CI, 5.8–6.8; P for trend <0.001). IBD-related total hospital days were 79 (95% CI, 66–91) per 100,000 individuals per year in 1988. Total hospital days decreased to 46 (42–50) per 100,000 per year in 1995 (P for trend <0.001, 1988–1995), before increasing through the end of the study period to 78 (95% CI, 72–84; P for trend <0.001, 1996–2011). Of note, the overall trend in hospital days rose significantly from 1988 to 2011 (P for trend <0.001).
