Population: Intent to Treat Population

Current standard of care for hospital discharge varies. Some institutions allow the patient to be discharged after a 3 hour wait. Others allow discharge after an x-ray indicates no pneumothorax. Since this study was randomized with control patients, the time to discharge beyond the hospital's standard of care was recorded to see if a trend for later discharge was apparent. This measure indicates the number of participants who were discharged later than their hospital's standard of care.
