[Secondary stroke prophylaxis: the advantages of care in neurological center for specialized outpatient treatment].
In neurological center for specialized course outpatient treatment, a higher level of medical care, comparing to general clinics, is provided for post- stroke patients. The continuous antiaggregants intake and modern antihypertensive therapy allowed to reduce significantly a frequency of secondary stroke in comparison to standard care for such patients in general outpatient clinics (4.6% versus 24% during a year; p < 0.05). A combined treatment in neurological center promoted a decrease of neurological deficit in 92.6% of all the cases. Positive experience of the secondary stroke prevention unit gives grounds for its introduction in clinical practice.
