title: [Cerebrovascular pathology: inpatient study in a community hospital. A prospective study].
abstract: We present the preliminary results of six months cerebrovascular pathology follow-up carried out at the Sant Boi Local Hospital as from when a Neurological Unit was set up within the Internal Medecine Service. For this purpose we drew up a prospective study based on questionnaires. A total of 69 neurological patients (2.45% of all those hospitalized) were studied, 62.3% of whom suffered acute stroke. Diagnostic and therapeutic activities were analyzed with regards to the afore mentioned pathology, as well as various data of an epidermiological nature. Lastly we present the experimental multidisciplinary approach to acute stroke as performed during hospitalization by the Internal Medecine Service, Convalescence Unit and an Interdepartmental Socio-Sanitary Functional Unit.
