"Stroke survivors unable to return to work can struggle to cope with a fall in income, increased household bills and a benefits system which does not recognise the full impact of stroke," Barrick said.
"Stroke survivors unable to return to work can struggle to cope with a fall in income, increased household bills and a benefits system that does not recognise the full impact of stroke," says Jon Barrick, the charity's chief executive.
To address this, we tested the impact of stroke cost parameters on the model results in the sensitivity analyses.
Correcting explicitly for this imbalance in covariate distribution, especially for the severity of stroke, leads to a much more modest impact of stroke unit on patient mortality.
The aim of this review was to explore the impact of stroke education and training of nurses and other health care staff involved in the delivery of stroke care.
Furthermore, there are conflicting reports on the relative impact of stroke on different domains of HRQOL.
Inconclusive evidence of the impact of stroke on RTW was reported.
Thus, the true impact of stroke on global and dimensional HRQOL remains unknown.
Participants were instead invited to take part in the "describing events project," examining the impact of stroke on "telling stories".
The economic impact of stroke, including its psychological and social aspects, was studied in the Netherlands [ 10].
Further research involving other health care settings are required to better estimate the financial impact of stroke to this country.
