(a) We note that discharge was delayed for 120+10+10+20=160 of the 800+200+50+250=1300 patients.
120+10+10+20800+200+50+250=16013008650.1231=12.31%
Thus discharge was delayed for 12.31% of the patient.
(b) Discharge was delayed for 120+10=130 of the 800+50=850 patients in major surgery.
130850=13850.1529=15.29%
Discharge was delayed for 10+20=30 of the 200+250=450 patients in minor surgery.
30450=1150.0667=6.67%
We note that the percentages are very different for major and minor surgery as discharge appears to be delayed much more often for patients in major surgery.
(c) Discharge was delayed for 120+10=130 of the 800+200=1000 patients in large hospitals.
1301000=13100=0.13=13%
Discharge was delayed for 10+20=30 of the 50+250=300 patients in small hospitals.
30300=110=0.10=10%
