Abstract:
Objective To study cost-effectiveness of primary cerebral infarction patients. Methods The neural function of primary cerebral infarction patients was studied by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) with rank test and multiple regression analysis. Results After treatment in hospitals of different grades, no obvious difference was detected in the NIHSS score, but difference was found in therapy cost and therapy time; the NIHSS score and therapy time of primary cerebral infarction patients in different attack positions were obviously different, but therapy cost had no significant statistical difference. The NIHSS score of primary cerebral infarction patients with different treatments was obviously different, but therapy cost and therapy time was not. Conclusions Patients are advised to choose grade hospitals in nearby cities for treatment. Clinician are expected to choose low-cost treatment plan to relieve patients' economic burden.
