Systematic Review on economic and managerial analysis of stroke

Davide Di Palma

Abstract

Background. Stroke is the third leading cause of death after acute myocardial infarction and cancer, the leading cause of disability and the second cause of dementia, resulting in considerable social and economic costs. Objective. This review of literature, starting from the awareness of the substantial negative impact of stroke in Italy, both clinically and economically, has the main objective of highlighting the economic assessment of preventive strategies that is the assistance routes provided for patients affected by stroke. Methods. A literature review was conducted using two electronic medical journal databases: Scopus and PubMed. The presentation of the results is in compliance with the PRISMA method. Results. In this review process, following the above detailed selection a total of 15 articles were selected, all meeting the inclusion criteria. Of these, 4 are in Italian and 11 are in English. Twelve articles were published between 2009-2014, two in 2007 and one in 2015. Eleven articles performed cost analyses and economic assessments taking as reference only Italian cases while the other articles considered an Italian context together with that of other Countries. Conclusions. The final result to be achieved is to increase the quality of health care assistance, mainly through interventions aimed at reorganizing the assistance approaches, without excessive additional costs, but rather creating quantifiable savings in terms of reduction in beds needed to assist in case of stroke events and, as a result of minor disability and dependence, in terms of reduction of rehabilitative, assistance and social expenditures in the long term

Keywords
