Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how socioeconomic factors influence the occurrence and healthcare costs associated with stroke, revealing that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds face higher morbidity and mortality rates.* -
  • Researchers examined hospital data from a region in France to identify typical Hospital Care Pathways (HCPs) for patients post-stroke and used statistical models to analyze the impact of socioeconomic status on these HCPs and associated costs.* -
  • Findings highlighted four distinct HCPs based on patient needs, showing that greater social disadvantage is linked to more complex healthcare pathways and higher costs, underscoring the impact of social inequalities in health care.*
