Regression Analysis and Predictions

LOS for Patient Taking xPrescription Drugs	0	3		6
	5.2	5.65		6.1
LOS for Patient Receiving Intravenous Diuretics for x Days	0	2		4
	5.1	5.6		6.1
LOS for Patient with xComorbid Conditions	0	3		6
	5	6.2		7.4
LOS for patient who is…	Male		Female
	5.9		5.85

Which of the factors has the biggest impact on LOS, and what insights from your analysis have improved your understanding of some drivers of LOS for your CHF patients?  

Answer 1

Ans. Intravenous Diuretics reception has the greatest impact on LOS patients according to the given data:

as the difference between initial and final values is maximum for intravenous diuretics receiving patients.

i.e. Patient 1 difference 5.1-0=5.1

Patient 2 difference 5.6-2=3.6

Patient 3 difference 6.1-4=2.1

are the respective differential values of LOS for IV diuretics patients.

The insights out of the analysis are males have generally higher LOS than females, and IV diuretics impact LOS more than xPrescription drugs and xComorbid conditions. These help us to understand gender and medicine intake as drivers of LOS.
