N2 - Background: To estimate the direct and indirect costs of stroke in patients and their partners Description: Direct and indirect costs were calculated using records from the Danish National Patient Registry fro 93,047 ischemic, 26,012 hemorrhagic and 128,824 unspecified stroke patients and compared with 364,433, 103,74 and 500,490 matched controls, respectively Results: Independent of age and gender, stroke patients had significantly higher rates of mortality, health-related contacts medication use and lower employment, lower income and higher social-Transfer payments than controls. The attributabl cost of direct net health care costs after the stroke (general practitioner services, hospital services, and medication) an indirect costs (loss of labor market income) were 10,720, 8,205 and 7,377 for patients, and 989, 1,544 and 1.645 fo their partners, over and above that of controls for hemorrhagic, ischemic and unspecified stroke, respectively. The negativ social-and health-related status could be identified up to eleven years before the first diagnosis Conclusion: Stroke has significant mortality, morbidity and socioeconomic consequences for patients, their partners and society.
