Popis: Objectives: The objective of this research project was to identify associated factors of ex-tended hospital stay, in a medium and high-complexity health care institution in Medellin. Materials and methods: An analytic, quantitative, cross-sectional study was made, with a simple random sample of patients (n=291) from the consolidate records of extended hospital stay in the institutions subject of study. For the bivariate analysis, the x2 squared was used in SPSS, the P values generated were evaluated with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5%, with a significant value or alpha value of 0.05 from the 291 records analyzed. Results: A significant statistical association was found between prolonged hospital stay and home care (p= 0,028), with procedures (p= 0.046) and diagnostic aids (p= 0.38). Conclu-sions: The hospital stay of a patient, does not only depend on their clinical condition, but also on the correlation with other care actors such as the institution, provider, and service network.
