Analysis of Hospital Charges of Inpatients with Acute Ischemic Stroke in Beijing, China, 2012 –2015

Conclusions: The proportion of medicine fees for the ischemic stroke inpatients showed a downward trend during the period from 2012 to 2015, but medicine fees still accounted for the largest percentage of hospital charges in China. LOHS emerged to be the main determinant of the cost. Decreasing medicine fees and LOHS might be strategies to decrease hospital charges and reduce economic burden of stroke in China.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:63 –73
