Give me a longer explanation for all types of neuropathy. Diabetic nerve damage and the pain is caused by too much sugar in the blood. The sugar hurts the nerve cell's outer sheath. .(the protective outer cover) Peripheral nerve cells have three main parts: cell body, axons, and dendrites (or terminal).. (See diagram below)
In 2014, the median length of service for hospice patients was 17.4 days. This means that of the estimated 1.6 to 1.7 million patients who received hospice services that year, half received hospice care for less than 17.4 days, and the other half received it for longer than that. In fact, the average number of days a patient received hospice care in 2014 was 71.3 days. The dying process takes time. Because of the highly skilled care that hospice workers can provide to their patients, hospice proves most effective when the caregiving team has time to deliver it.
LOS can be influenced by a number of factors including disease course, timing of referral, and access to care. The median (50th percentile) LOS in 2013 was 18.5 days. This means that half of hospice patients receive care for less than three weeks and half receive care for more than three weeks. The average LOS is 72.6 days. 5 Approximately 34.5% of hospice patients receive care for just seven days or less. 48.8% of patients die or are discharged within 14 days of admission. 1 Only 11.5% of patients remain under hospice care for longer than 180 days.
