Popis: Background: Hospital length of stay (LOS) related to craniotomy for tumor resection (CTR) is a marker of neurosurgical quality of care. Limiting LOS benefits both patients and hospitals. This study examined which factors contribute to extended LOS (eLOS) at our academic center. Methods: Retrospective medical record review of 139 consecutive CTRs performed between July 2020 and July 2021. Univariate and multivariable analyses determined which factors were associated with an eLOS (≥8 days). Results: Median LOS was 6 days (IQR 3–9 days). Fifty-one subjects (36.7%) experienced an eLOS. Upon univariate analysis, potentially modifiable factors associated with eLOS included days to occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), and case management clearance (p
