Length of stay and determinants of early discharge and extended stay after cesarean delivery in a resource-limited setting: southern Ethiopia, 2023
The average post-cesarean hospital stay is 2.71 days, with duration influenced by factors such as age, distance to the hospital, access to antenatal care, income, insurance, and the presence of complications. Targeted interventions, such as improving access to antenatal care, providing financial support, and proactively managing complications, can improve outcomes.
