Importancia de una atención neurológica especializada en el manejo intrahospitalario de pacientes con ictus

in stroke patients, specialized neurological care, either in a Stroke Unit or by a Stroke Team, decreases mortality and hospital complications, thus lowering disability. A better outcome is sustained at 6 months when patients were admitted to an SNW. They have better functional status and lower rate of stroke or other vascular event recurrence. These data reinforce the need for specialized neurological hospital care for stroke patients.
