Readmission, mortality, and first-year medical costs after stroke

Abstract: Half of the patients encountered readmission or death during the first year after stroke. Patients with advanced age, more complications, or comorbidities during initial stay tended to be highly vulnerable to AE occurrence, whereas TIA/unspecified stroke carried no less risk for AEs. FYMC or estimated cost per life saved for IS or TIA/unspecified was lower relative to SAH or ICH; however, their estimated cost per life-year saved became higher because of reduced life expectancy.

“…2 Finally, readmission appeared to be also associated with higher medical costs. 8 Taken together, these results clearly indicate that reducing readmission should be a major goal for poststroke care. Consistently with this observation, a randomized clinical study suggested that specific follow-up interventions after poststroke discharge could be of interest so as to prevent readmission.…”

“…The mean time between the stroke and the subsequent hospitalization was 139±109 days, (median, 118; interquartile range, 40-229). The mean length of stay for this hospitalization was 10.6±15.5 days (median, 7; interquartile range, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. The most frequent reasons for hospitalization were neurological diseases (26.9%), cardiac and other vascular events (16.8%), orthopedic/rheumatologic reasons (13.8%), and infections (10.8%; Table 1).…”

“…Assistive technology (AT) is regarded as one of the most important factors influencing functional recovery and independence in patients after stroke. There is still a need for research on predictors and early identification of AT requirements in order to shape and maximize its positive influence to the recovery process [3,4,5,6].…”
