3. Figure 2
Length of stay based on time to catheterization and occurrence of complications. This figure displays the median length of stay based on whether or not the patients had cardiac catheterization (cath) within 3 days of admission, or at least one complication. Regardless of the presence of complications, those who received cardiac catheterization after 3 days from admission had a longer hospital length of stay.

Geographical variation in hospital length of stay. There are important variations in the lengths of stay based on geographical variations in the US. The Northeast has the highest percentage of patients with length of stay ≥5 days, while the West has the highest percentage of patients with length of stay ≤2 days and the lowest percentage with length of stay ≥5 days.
