title: [Admission to hospital versus home care for stroke].
abstract: The incidence and prevalence of cerebrovascular disease is very high. This is a major sanitary problem. There are no studies comparing the management of acute stroke as inpatient or outpatient, publications about each of these items are analyzed. General Practitioners may play a very important role, not only at the first step in the attention of stroke patients. Admission criteria for stroke and hospitalization span for its different ethiopathogenic types are revised.
