[Recommendations for care of patients with cerebral accident. Part One: Organization of care for patients with cerebral accidents, treatment of cerebral accident and neurorehabilitation].
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in modern society. In developed countries stroke is the second or the third cause of death, and in Croatia it is the leading cause of death. Therefore, stroke is not only a great medical, but also economic burden. Figures show that the incidence of stroke in transitional countries is increasing, so the epidemic of stroke could be expected in the forthcoming years. The Croatian Society for Neurovascular Disorders of the Croatian Medical Association and the Croatian Stroke Society wrote the recommendations for stroke management. The first part presents the recommendations for organization of stroke care, stroke treatment and neurorehabilitation, and the second part will present the recommendations for prevention of stroke.
