Résumé
Due to the high maintenance costs, it is critical to make full use of operating rooms (ORs). Operative duration is an important factor that guides research on surgery scheduling. Clinical effects, for example, surgery type, rationally influences operative duration. In this study, we also investigate whether the planning and scheduling decisions in ORs influence the operative duration. For our study, we collected and reviewed data on 2,451 thoracic operations from a large hospital in China. The study was conducted over a period of 34 months. Linear and nonlinear regression models were used to detect the effects on the duration of the operations. We have also examined interactions between the factors. Operative duration decreased with the number of operations a surgeon performed in a day ( Operative duration was affected not only due to clinical effects but also some nonclinical effects. Scheduling decisions significantly influenced operative duration.

Background
Due to the high maintenance costs, it is critical to make full use of operating rooms (ORs). Operative duration is an important factor that guides research on surgery scheduling. Clinical effects, for example, surgery type, rationally influences operative duration. In this study, we also investigate whether the planning and scheduling decisions in ORs influence the operative duration.
Methods
For our study, we collected and reviewed data on 2,451 thoracic operations from a large hospital in China. The study was conducted over a period of 34 months. Linear and nonlinear regression models were used to detect the effects on the duration of the operations. We have also examined interactions between the factors.
Results
Operative duration decreased with the number of operations a surgeon performed in a day (
Conclusions
Operative duration was affected not only due to clinical effects but also some nonclinical effects. Scheduling decisions significantly influenced operative duration.
