Analyzing Cost-Effectiveness of Allocating Neurointerventionist for Drive and Retrieve System for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
The cost of stroke treatment accounts for approximately 6% of Japan's national medical expenditure,1 and stroke is the second most common condition, after dementia, that results in a requirement for long-term care. Thus, stroke has a significant impact on society.2 Cerebral infarction accounts for 60% or more of stroke cases.3 Systematic provision of highly equitable and efficient treatment for cerebral infarction is an important policy issue, such as the enactment of the Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease Control Act in December 2018 in Japan, as part of an effort to enhance provision of treatment for cerebral infarction.

Cost Burden and Cost-Effective Analysis of the Nationwide Implementation of the Quality in Acute Stroke Care Protocol in Australia
Stroke is the third global leading cause of death and disability.1,2 In Australia, stroke accounts for 3% of the total burden of disease and 5% of all deaths, with 36,700 incident strokes annually.3 Healthcare expenditure for stroke in Australia in 2017 was AUD 663 million.4

Do Reduced Copayments Affect Mortality after Surgery due to Stroke? An Interrupted Time Series Analysis of a National Cohort Sampled in 2003-2012
The South Korean government introduced a policy in 2 phases, in September 2005 and in January 2010, for reducing copayments for patients with critical diseases, including stroke, to prevent excessive medical expenditures and to ease economic barriers. Previous studies of the effect of this policy were focused primarily on cancer. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between this policy and 1-year mortality after surgery among patients with stroke.

Nationwide Healthcare Expenditures among Hypertensive Individuals with Stroke: 2003-2014
Of all the various clinical entities, hypertension is arguably most strongly linked to the occurrence of stroke. However, the impact of stroke on health-care expenditures in patients with hypertension has not been previously evaluated.

Healthcare expenditure trends among adult stroke patients in the United States, 2011-2020
In the US, between 2018 and 2019, approximately $57 billion were expended on stroke and related conditions. The aim of this study was to understand trends in direct healthcare expenditures among stroke patients using novel cost estimation methods and a nationally representative database.

Metabolic Energy Expenditure and Accelerometer-Determined Physical Activity Levels in Post-Stroke Hemiparetic Patients
Assessment of metabolic energy expenditure in post-stroke patients using accelerometers is clinically important. However, understanding of the best placement of accelerometers on the body and methods for calculating activity counts are limited.

Factors Associated with Level of Physical Activity After Minor Stroke
Health authorities recommend physical activity for general health and to prevent cardiovascular events.1,2 Despite this, physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.3 Physical activity has been defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure, consisting of a broad spectre of daily life activities, including exercise, and resulting in physical fitness.4 There is a dose-response effect of the amount of physical activity on health, where higher volumes, both time and intensity, of activity are associated with additional health benefits.

Comparisons of Predictive Equations for Resting Energy Expenditure in Patients with Cerebral Infarct during Acute Care
Estimation of resting energy expenditure (REE) is essential in planning nutrition support. Several equations are used for this estimation in the clinical setting. The purpose of this study was to compare the predictive accuracy of existing equations for REE in patients with cerebral infarct during acute care.

Increased Resting Energy Expenditure after Endovascular Coiling for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Appropriate nutritional care from the acute stage is essential for improved functional outcomes and reduced mortality in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Although endovascular coiling is increasingly being used as an alternative to neurosurgical clipping and craniotomy for ruptured aneurysms, the resting energy expenditure (REE) of patients treated with this new technique has not been systemically evaluated.
