Albumin and psychological resilience: key modifiable factors for hospital length of stay in ulcerative colitis

This study found that lower serum albumin levels were significantly associated with a longer LOS in patients with active UC. Furthermore, both lower albumin levels and poorer psychological resilience were associated with prolonged LOS. This study's findings suggest that albumin optimization may be an effective strategy for reducing LOS in active UC, and further integrating psychological resilience-building interventions into standard care could help shorten hospitalization and improve outcomes for patients in remission.
