length of stay
How long inside
Length of stay is how long someone remains in a particular place, most often used in healthcare contexts: The average length of stay for hip replacement is three days.
Hotels and rental properties also track length of stay for pricing and planning.
In hospitals, shorter stays generally indicate efficiency, though premature discharge raises readmission risks.
