Determinants of Hospital Length of Stay in Herpes Zoster Patients: A Four‐Year Retrospective Study
Severe neurological complications such as encephalitis and Ramsay Hunt syndrome, along with specific comorbidities and high ESR, notably extend hospital stays for HZ patients. These findings highlight the burden of severe HZ and identify key factors affecting LOS. By quantifying these elements, we provide practical insights to optimize inpatient care and emphasize the importance of prevention in high-risk populations.
