[Long-duration home hospitalization: the impacts of socio-demographic and clinical factors and care pathways].

Introduction: Although considerable literature exists concerning duration of stay in hospital settings, particularly for long-duration patients, we have little or no information about those hospitalized at home (HAH). We have studied the socio-demographic, clinical characteristics and care pathways of patients having undergone long-duration HAH.

Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight non-obstetric patients having undergone at least seven months of home hospitalization in 2018 and 2019 under the aegis of Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) were included and compared with 12381 shorter-duration patients.
