Quality of life and cost consequence of delays in endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in China
ConclusionsEarlier treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients with EVT in China increases lifetime QALYs and the economic value of care without any net increase in lifetime costs. Thus, healthcare policies should aim to improve efficiency of pre-hospital and in-hospital workflow processes to reduce the onset-to-puncture duration in China.

Medicare beneficiary out-of-pocket spending for stroke prevention in non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: a budget analysis
Healthcare costs today are increasingly being shifted from payers to patients, yet few providers factor patient costs into treatment decisions. Recent advancements in stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) have resulted in new treatment options where previously there were few. While the clinical benefit and cost effectiveness of these treatments are supported by a growing body of evidence, the cost impact to patients has not been explored. This analysis sought to quantify patient out-of-pocket costs for three stroke prevention strategies: warfarin, dabigatran and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with the Watchman Device.

P35 Economic Benefit of Stroke Technology-Assisted Rehabilitation (STAR): A Scoping Review
High-intensity rehabilitation is an evidence-based effective treatment for reducing disability and improving the quality of life in stroke survivors with sensorimotor impairments. Increasing healthcare costs, rising demand for rehabilitative treatment, and a shortage of healthcare professionals have motivated the development of new technologies to support high-intensity stroke rehabilitation more effectively. However, relatively little data is available regarding the economic benefits of these new approaches, including virtual reality, exoskeletons, robots, and wearable sensors.

New research: Stroke risk and too much sleep; genes that make the body salt-sensitive
(Pollock Communications) High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one-third of -- or 70 million -- US adults, and the healthcare costs associated with treating the disease are approximately $46 billion. From May 15 - 19, 2015, members of the medical community will gather at the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Society of Hypertension in NYC to discuss more than 200 new studies, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and new treatments for hypertension.
