摘要：The aim of the study was to estimate the length of hospital stay (LOS) and identify factors associated with LOS in orthognathic surgery patients. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study where all the data of the patients who reported to the department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery in a single institution was obtained from the dental information archiving software (DIAS). Patient record was collected between March 2020 and March 2021. Data was collected and tabulated. The collected data was further analysed, recorded in Microsoft Excel software and was subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS statistics analyser v.23.0. Results: The total sample size of the study was 57 patients. In this study, the data was analysed for the length of hospital stay in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery. The highest prevalence was seen in males and in the age group of 17-21 years. The most common procedures performed was bimaxillary surgery The overall mean Length of hospital stay was 3.2 days Conclusion:Reduction in the length of stay after surgery can result in improved allocation and use of health care resources and a substantial reduction in the cost of healthcare delivery.
