      In Demark acutely admitted patients are supposed to stay in the Emergency Department (ED) bed&#xD;
      ward if the anticipated duration of stay is less than 48 hours.&#xD;
&#xD;
      However, it is not a trivial matter to estimate duration of stay for emergency patients. a&#xD;
      number of factors affect this, eg. social background, disease, hospital organisation.&#xD;
&#xD;
      The aim of this study is to analyse whom are the best among the health staff to predict the&#xD;
      length of stay: ED nurses, admitting doctors og the specialist, and to analyse if a number of&#xD;
      variables can be used to improve the prediction.&#xD;
