We have read with great interest the article by Park et al1 entitled “Chronic Phase Survival Rate in Stroke Patients with Severe Functional Limitations According to the Frequency of Rehabilitation Treatment.”1 They investigated the chronic phase survival rate (from 24 to 120 months after the onset) of stroke patients with severe functional limitations, according to the frequency of rehabilitation treatment from the stroke onset to 24 months after the stroke.

Thus, it is of interest to compare both types of health care with respect to differences in population characteristics, resource utilization and outcome parameters (i. e., excess costs, rehospitalization, fracture risk and mortality) using a common geriatric indic...
