The majority of stroke patients are treated in local general hospitals. Despite this fact, little is known about stroke care in these institutions. We sought to investigate the status quo of acute stroke management in nonspecialized facili ties with limited equipment and resources. This study provides one of the few data samples reflecting stroke care in smaller general hospitals. The findings demonstrate a partially suboptimal level of care in these institutions. To achieve future impro vements, extended human and technical resources as well as research for stroke care should not be restricted to academic stroke centers. |
