Impact of the Health Gym Program on hospital admissions for stroke in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Health Gym Program (HGP) on hospital admissions for stroke in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. This policy impact evaluation used a quasi-experimental approach consisting of a difference-in-differences estimator, weighted by propensity score matching to deal with potential confounding variables. The study comprised socioeconomic, demographic, and epidemiological data from official Brazilian databases from 2010 to 2019. The treatment group was composed of the 134 municipalities that implemented the HGP since 2011. The 51 municipalities that did not were allocated to the compari...

EE47 Short-Term Cost-Effectiveness of Using Mobile Stroke Unit VS. Standard Ambulance for Patients with Suspected Stroke
Mobile stroke units (MSUs) have the potential to improve time-sensitive stroke care delivery by appropriate triage of patients with large-vessel-occlusion (LVO) to comprehensive stroke centers (CSCs) for endovascular treatment (EVT) and non-LVO patients to primary stroke centers (PSCs). The purpose of this study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of MSU when compared to the standard ambulance (SA) transport of suspected stroke patients to the appropriate hospital.
