As an introduction, the line graph illustrates the mean duration of hospital stay of
patients
with serious injuries, by age
categories, in both the public and private sectors, in Queensland, Australia, during the last
year.
Overall
, it can be seen that the length of stay was higher in public health care centres than that of private ones in all age
groups. In addition
, more than fifteen-year-old patients
were admitted to non-government centres, whereas
the others provided care for all age
categories.
Firstly
, the average number of days
in the government sector rose considerably from approximately 5 days
for 0 to 4 years to reach 60 days
in the 25 to 29 group
. Secondly
, a slight decline of about 20 days
can be observed in the 35 to 39 age
group
. However
, the figures increased sharply again in the next age
group
from about 20 days
. Finally
, these numbers fell gradually with some fluctuations in between, to reach roughly 20 days
total in more than 85-year-old patients
.
In comparison, at private nursing homes, the duration increased substantially from 5 days
in 15 to 19 old patients
to around 40 days
in 25 to 29 years. Thereafter
, the numbers remained relatively stable at about 20 days
for the rest of the patients
with some slight fluctuations and ultimately ended up at the same number as the other centre for the oldest group
