In the last few years, the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected different hospital departments, revealing their major weaknesses. For this reason, this emergency has been a driver for healthcare transformation in a very short interval of time in order to optimize the resources, minimize costs and simultaneously increase the caring services, also limiting over-occupancy in wards, especially emergency ones. One of the main factors for assessing the efficiency of a department is associated with how long a patient stays in the facility (LOS). This bicentric study investigated how COVID-19 has modified the activity of the Complex Operative Unit (C.O.U.) of Neurology and Stroke of the University Hospital “San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d’Aragona” of Salerno (Italy) and the hospital A.O.R.N. “Antonio Cardarelli” of Naples (Italy). In the work data for the year 2019 (in the absence of Covid-19) and in the year of Covid-19 pandemic 2020 were considered. This work used the logistic regression technique to study the following variables: age, gender, length of stay (LOS), relative weight of DRG and mode of discharge. The analysis shows that in 2020 there was a greater adequacy of admissions, with an increase in the relative weight of DRG. And the statistical analysis obtained the following significant variables: gender, age, relative weight of DRG and discharge mode.

Abstract
In the last few years, the COVID-19 pandemic has strongly affected different hospital departments, revealing their major weaknesses. For this reason, this emergency has been a driver for healthcare transformation in a very short interval of time in order to optimize the resources, minimize costs and simultaneously increase the caring services, also limiting over-occupancy in wards, especially emergency ones. One of the main factors for assessing the efficiency of a department is associated with how long a patient stays in the facility (LOS). This bicentric study investigated how COVID-19 has modified the activity of the Complex Operative Unit (C.O.U.) of Neurology and Stroke of the University Hospital “San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d’Aragona” of Salerno (Italy) and the hospital A.O.R.N. “Antonio Cardarelli” of Naples (Italy). In the work data for the year 2019 (in the absence of Covid-19) and in the year of Covid-19 pandemic 2020 were considered. This work used the logistic regression technique to study the following variables: age, gender, length of stay (LOS), relative weight of DRG and mode of discharge. The analysis shows that in 2020 there was a greater adequacy of admissions, with an increase in the relative weight of DRG. And the statistical analysis obtained the following significant variables: gender, age, relative weight of DRG and discharge mode.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
