| description | Stroke is a major cause of morbidity in industrialized countries, representing 8% of total deaths across Europe in 2017. It is also a very costly disorder, frequently caused by atrial fibrillation. We aimed to calculate the cost of stroke hospitalization in 2018 in Poznań (Poland). We also intended to present patients with the first AF diagnosis at the time of stroke. The study was conducted from January 2019 to July 2020. Data were obtained from hospital records and from the hospital accounting department. Out of 164 patients included in the study, 41 had AF and in 18 cases AF was first diagnosed at the time of stroke. The cost of hospitalization in Poznań was EUR 139,257.21 (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mover accent="true"><mi>x</mi><mo>¯</mo></mover><mo>=</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> EUR 849.13). Among those with concomitant AF, the general cost of inpatient care was EUR 33,859.18 (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mover accent="true"><mi>x</mi><mo>¯</mo></mover><mo>=</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> EUR 825.83). Considering those who had AF first diagnosed during hospitalization the cost was EUR 16,248.97 (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mover accent="true"><mi>x</mi><mo>¯</mo></mover><mo>=</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> EUR 906.24). Stroke is associated with high costs of inpatient care, which turned out to be higher among those with AF first diagnosed at the time of stroke. The number of patients who used oral anticoagulants at the time of admission was relatively low. The most frequently used NOAC was dabigatran. |
