Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how long patients with serious infections in their mouths and necks stayed in the hospital and what factors made their stay longer or shorter.
- They examined hospital records of 248 patients and found that removing the infected tooth during the same visit led to a shorter hospital stay compared to removing it later.
- The research also showed that other factors like having diabetes and the spread of infection could make the hospital stay longer, and it helps doctors decide how to treat these infections better.
