Approximately 2,500 people die from stroke each year yet there is a lack of Irish services provision.
The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of acute stroke emergency admissions in a large teaching hospital and present an analysis of this cohort.
All patients presenting acutely to the Emergency Department in 2005 meeting the WHO definition of stroke were included in our study. A chart review of the identified patients was conducted to obtain the necessary information.
A total of 273 patients experienced an acute stroke, representing 1.6% of all acute admissions. 81.7% (223) of patients survived to discharge from the acute hospital. At 1 year, 65.2% (178) patients were still alive post-stroke. The mean length of stay in our acute hospital was 21.1 days following stroke.
Stroke represents a considerable burden on health resources within the hospital.
每年约有 2500 人死于中风，但爱尔兰缺乏相关服务。
本研究旨在调查一家大型教学医院的急性中风急诊入院率，并对该队列进行分析。
我们纳入了 2005 年在急诊科急性发作并符合世界卫生组织中风定义的所有患者。对确定的患者进行病历回顾以获取必要信息。
共有 273 名患者发生急性中风，占所有急性入院患者的 1.6%。81.7%（223 名）的患者从急性医院出院时存活。1 年后，178 名（65.2%）中风后患者仍然存活。中风后，我们的急性医院的平均住院时间为 21.1 天。
中风给医院的卫生资源带来了相当大的负担。
