Table 1.
Duration of inpatient treatment according to different nerve injuries. Trunk and lower extremity lesions show a longer duration of inpatient treatment. Nights spent in the hospital are shown. Therefore, a duration of two nights in hospital equals three days in hospital. This format was used due to internal regulations and to eliminate data irritation with outpatient treatment who have a day in the hospital but no nights.
