Few data exist on the effect of short call on quality of patient care. Our objective was to examine the effect of short call admission on length of stay and quality of care for patients with acute decompensated heart failure.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 218 patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure to the Nashville VA Medical Center between July 1, 2003, and June 30, 2005. The primary exposure was short call, and the primary outcome was length of stay. The secondary outcomes\u2014diuretic dosing, weight monitoring, and hospital complications\u2014were determined through a combination of administrative data and chart review. Patients admitted to short call had a longer median length of stay than patients admitted to long call (5.2 days [25% to 75%, 3.2 to 8 days] versus 3.9 days [interquartile range, 2.7 to 6.5 days];\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.0004). After adjustment for covariates, short call had a 44% increase in length of stay (95% CI, 15 to 80) compared with long call. Short call patients received fewer diuretic doses in the first 24 hours of hospitalization (1.80 versus 2.12;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.014) and had a longer median time to the second dose of loop diuretics compared with long call patients (17.9 hours versus 16.2 hours;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.044).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            Admission to short call is predictive of increased length of stay, a decreased number of diuretic doses, and delays in the timing of diuretics among patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
