Study: Timely acute care critical following a stroke

12/02/11

A new study published in the journal Age and Ageing highlights the importance of timely acute care for those who have suffered a stroke.

Those who receive acute care immediately following a stroke have a better chance of reducing their level of disability as well as the need for long term care in the future, thus reducing hefty after-care costs.

"This type of study highlights the economic burden imposed by the chronic phase of stroke disease and the support from the Irish Heart Foundation in funding this study is very much appreciated," said Samantha Smith, joint author of the study. "Acute stroke unit care is known to be cost effective and all acute stroke patients can benefit from care in these units with lower risks of death and disability."

Medical costs and after-care expenses can add up, making it difficult for stroke survivors and their families to locate the necessary funding. Some life insurance products and annuities can help relieve the financial burden experienced by stroke victims and their families and loved ones. Comparing life insurance quotes online can yield the right policy at the right price for individuals from all age groups.
