Hospital costs of ischemic stroke and TIA in the Netherlands
Conclusions: Hospital costs are higher for inpatients and ischemic strokes compared with outpatients and TIAs, with length of stay (LOS) the most important contributor. LOS and hospital costs have substantially declined over the last 10 years, possibly due to improved hospital stroke care and efficient integrated stroke services.

Carotid Endarterectomy National Trends Over A Decade: Does Sex Matter?
The objective was to evaluate the difference in timing (if any) of in-hospital carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or outcomes of CEA based on sex among men and women hospitalized for carotid artery disease.Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample Database. All patients from 2000–2009 who underwent CEA during their hospitalization were examined. International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision codes were used to identify patients who underwent CEA during hospitalization, stratify asymptomatic and symptomatic patients, determine time in days from admission to CEA, and ex...
