ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the impact of organized stroke ward on the therapeutic effect in stroke patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 2637 patients with acute stroke were randomly assigned to organized stroke ward or the general ward for treatment, and the rates of mortality, nonrecovery, improvement, and recovery were compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The rates of mortality, nonrecovery, improvement, and recovery in 5 years were 2.00%, 0.90%, 74.94% and 22.16% respectively in the organized stroke ward group, as compared to 3.26%, 1.02%, 74.01% and 21.71% in the general ward group, respectively. The mortality rate was significantly lower in organized stroke ward (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in the rates of nonrecovery, improvement, or recovery between the two groups (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Admission of the stroke patients in organized stroke ward for treatment can be associated with lowered mortality rate.</p>
