title: [Results of stroke care in Hungary in the frame of international comparison].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The EuroHOPE FP7 project analysed the effectiveness and efficiency of stroke care between 2010 and 2014.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The study introduces Hungarian data in comparison with international results and explores the causes of differences.
  
  
  METHODS
  The analysis was performed on data available from regular data collection in Finland, The Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Scotland, and Sweden, with standardized indicators. Hungarian data was analysed between 2005 and 2009, and the international benchmarking in 2008, with multivariate logistic regression analysis for risk adjustment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Stroke incidence in Hungary was the double of the Italian or Finnish results (43.3/10,000 inhabitants), while comorbidities did not differ among countries. In Hungary, 19.9% of patients purchased anti-coagulants, one-third of the rate in Finland. One-year mortality in Hungary was 30%, the worst among the countries. Possible causes are inadequate prevention, more severe status of patients, and deficiencies of hospital care and rehabilitation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Causal analysis of these results and corrective measurements are recommended. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(41), 1635-1641.
