The length of hospital stay of 754 patients who were dischanged from a rural hospital in Wakayama Prefecture in 1957, was investigated.The frequency distribution of the length of stay in this hospital was well agreed with that obtained from the nation-wide investigation performed by Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan. But the frequency distribution showed a logarithmic normal with median length of 15.6 days and logarithmic standard deviation of 0.488, when cases of appendicitis and normal delivery with shorter length of hospital stay and those of tuberculosis with longer length of hospital stay were excluded.This median length was slightly shorter than that of a teaching hospital reported by Nakazima, but the value of standard deviation was almost similar to that of the teaching hospital.
