What is Intensive Care Unit and Acute Care Unit Length of Stay Following Congenital Heart Surgery about?
## Background: Postoperative length of stay (los) is an important quality metric and is known to vary widely across hospitals after congenital heart surgery. whether this variability is explained by factors associated with the intensive care unit (icu) or acute care unit (acu) remains unclear. we evaluated the relationship between icu and acu los and the impact of acu characteristics on postoperative los. ## Methods: Hospitalizations for congenital heart surgery within the pediatric cardiac critical care consortium (pc) registry (august 2014 to february 2018) were included. models were developed for icu, acu, and postoperative los by adjusting for differences in case-mix across hospitals. pc hospitals participating in the pediatric acute care cardiology collaborative (pac) were also surveyed on acu organizational factors and practice patterns. ## Results: Overall, 19,674 hospitalizations across 27 hospitals were included. there was significant variation in icu and acu los. postperative los appeared to be most closely related to icu los; 75% (6 of 8) of hospitals with shorter than expected postoperative los also had shorter than expected icu los. a clear relationship between postope
