Multicenter Study Comparative Study
A comparison of the costs and survival of hospital-admitted stroke patients across Europe.
Policy makers require evidence on the costs and outcomes of different ways of organizing stroke care. This study compared the costs and survival of different ways of providing stroke care. ⋯ The cost of stroke care varies across Europe because of differences in unit costs, and resource use. Further research is needed to assess which ways of organizing stroke care are the most cost-effective.
