Many countries are interested in the cost of therapy of the acute cerebral flow insufficiency leading to brain infarction. Total costs include: drugs, laboratory tests, nursing care, the cost of patients' food, equipment, amortization, hospital administration etc. The total expenditure for a 10-15-day treatment of the acute neurological incident depended on the severity of the disease and was 8 million ++ złoty in case of mildly ill patient, 9 million in case of moderately severe disease, and 21 million złoty in case of severely ill patient. If the costs of such tests as CT and TCD-scanning will be added, total cost will increase significantly.
