To be able to better manage the length of stay (LOS) of patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy, clinical researchers built a predictive (regression) model. The estimated model parameters are summarized in the table below: Variable Intercept Pre-operative LOS Presence of complications Complicating diagnosis Gender (Female vs. Male) Age Presence of comorbidities Heart disease Diabetes Hypertension Obesity Peritonitis B 7.542 0.941 SE p-value 0.760 <.001 0.066 <.001 -3.949 0.573 <.001 -0.863 0.234 <.001 -0.160 0.230 0.487 0.024 0.007 0.001 0.740 0.346 0.033 0.237 0.871 0.786 -1.861 0.972 0.057 1.053 0.563 0.064 -0.911 0.954 0.341 -0.649 0.856 0.449 -1.998 1.480 0.178 Cancer 1. What is the predicted length of stay for a 50-year-old male with no complicating diagnosis and no comorbidity (i.e., that also means no heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, peritonitis, or cancer), who had a 1-day pre-operative stay, and there were no complications during the surgery? 2. Interpret the estimated parameters for pre-operative LOS and the presence of complications. 3. What strikes you about (the values of) the estimated model parameters? What phenomenon may explain some of these puzzling results?
