Abstract:
Stroke units can improve outcome after stroke as demonstrated by a meta-analysis which evidenced a reduction of the odds ratio for mortality (18 +/- 8 p. 100) and for poor outcome, death, or institutional care (25 +/- 10 p. 100), and death or dependancy (29 +/- 11 p. 100). Improved quality of life and shorter hospital stay have not been so clearly established. Stroke units are helpful in organizing acute neurology care. Moreover, stroke units are involved in teaching and research. Their development should be promoted in hospitals.
