Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Ketamine on the Length of Hospital Stay of Patients Hospitalized With Suicidal Ideation. (NCT NCT02997722)

NCT ID: NCT02997722

Last Updated: 2020-06-02

Results Overview

We defined length of hospital stay as the difference between 1) the date and time that the patient was admitted to the psychiatry inpatient unit and 2) the date and time that the patient was discharged from the psychiatry inpatient.
