Hospital Costs Of Ischemic Stroke And Transient Ischemic Attack In The Netherlands
Advances in the prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) during the past two decades have resulted in changes of medical practice. However, the existing cost estimates of ischemic stroke and TIA are based on resource use and cost data of approximately 20 years ago. We therefore determined hospital costs of ischemic stroke and TIA in the Netherlands for 2012.
