ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the curative effects of establishing stroke unit in treatment of the patients with stroke in primary hospital.Methods 220 patients in hospital who matched the standard were enroued in the study.All patients were assigned either into stroke unit group(Group A,n = 110) or general ward group(Group B,n = 110).The data of the patients of the two groups were compared.The key indexes including mortality and complication were recorded,and other parameters including National Institutes of Barthel Index(BI),Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS),Oxford Handicap Scale(OHS) were observed.Results The mortality and the complications rate of groups A were less than that in Groups B(χ2 =3.12,P＜0.05,χ2 = 12.22,P＜0.05).The improving extent of all scores (BI、NIHSS 、OHS) in SU group A were significantly different with that in group B.(t = 11.17、2.31、3.96,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The patients treated by stroke unit could gain evidently better prognosis than traditional therapy in primary hospital.
