Long-term increased risk of unemployment after young stroke: A long-term follow-up study

Conclusion:
Young stroke patients had a 2–3 times higher risk of unemployment after 8 years of follow-up. Return-to-work programs should be developed, adjusted, and evaluated in order to diminish the negative effects that unemployment can have on patients' life satisfaction and to limit the socioeconomic consequences.
