• Abstract

    Length of hospital stay is one of the elements or aspects of hospital care and service that can be assessed or measured. When someone is hospitalized, what is expected is that there will be a change in the degree of health. This study aims to determine the difference in the length of hospitalization for Covid-19 patients with a history of comorbid and without a history of comorbidities in Central Sulawesi. The type of research used is a cross-sectional analytic survey. The results showed that the most length of stay was not long, with a proportion of 52.1%, and the most comorbid history was having a comorbid with a proportion of 69.8%.  The length of hospitalization was not long,  with a proportion of  52.1%,  and the most comorbid history was having a comorbid with a proportion of 69.8%. Furthermore, the Wilcoxon statistical test showed a difference in the average length of stay for Covid-19 patients with a history of comorbidities and without comorbidities with a value of 0.000. There is a difference in the average frequency of days of hospitalization for Covid-19 patients.
