Stroke Units An Evidence Based Approach

Based on systematic reviews carried out by the international Stroke Unit Trialists' Collaboration, this book discusses the place of the in-patient stroke unit in the present day mangement of stroke patients. The analysis discusses both their methodology and results in terms of effectiveness of the stroke unit - reduction of mortality, benefit to patients, and resource implications. The wider issues are addressed in chapters considering other alternatives and situations where less evidence is available.Dennis, Martin is the author of 'Stroke Units An Evidence Based Approach', published 1998 under ISBN 9780727912114 and ISBN 0727912119.
