Comparing the economic burden of ischemic stroke patients with and without atrial fibrillation: a retrospective study in Beijing, China

Treatment costs were significantly associated with old age, male gender, AF, and frequency of outpatient visits and hospitalization, and treatment costs were higher in the AF group than in the non-AF group.

One-year direct and indirect costs of ischaemic stroke in China

This real-world study showed substantial 1-year economic burden following first-ever ischaemic stroke in China, and that indirect costs are a non-negligible driver of costs.

The type of stroke, length of poststroke period, and stroke complications and comorbidities are found to be associated with the total costs, suggesting there is a considerable economic burden associated with stroke in Singapore.

Medical care for stroke patients with AF is associated with higher costs compared with those without AF; this is explained mainly by confounding factors and driven essentially by a significant difference in acute hospitalization costs.

Effect of Age on Stroke Prevention Therapy in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: The Atrial Fibrillation Investigators
