Stephan Munich: How Has Stroke Care Evolved in The US?
Stephan Munich, Associate Professor at Rush University Medical Center, shared on LinkedIn:
”How has stroke care evolved in the US?
An analysis of over 1 million stroke admissions helps to shed some light:
- The rate of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is increasing, though expanded MT eligibility trials have had little impact
- The rate of decompressive hemicraniectomy is decreasing
- Mechanical thrombectomy is being expanded to older and sicker patients
- Care is expanding with intervention more frequently being performed at small, medium, and rural hospitals
- Although urban, teaching hospitals are treating sicker patients with more comorbidities, mortality rate is decreased and rate of disposition to home is higher
