    Hi Piushkumar. I based my guestimate on the length of stay for a patient whose procedure (by definition?) had not gone well on the LoS data published in NHS reference costs and available here (see the TEI tab in the trust cost schedules): http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publicationsandstatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/DH_123459 For hip and knee ELECTIVEs, the av LoS is between 4 and 16 days (for many procedure types, it is around the 6-8 day mark). Groin hernia and v veins slightly harder to distinguish from the ref costs, but NHS Info Centre tells me the trim point for electives is between 5 and 16 days. Thanks Sally
