The Cost

Context: Stroke is one of the main causes of premature death and disability, imposing significant costs on the healthcare system, especially due to expensive hospital care. Home care service is one of the interventions used in the last two decades to reduce the cost of services provided for stroke patients in different countries. Objectives: The present study aimed to systematically review studies related to the economic evaluation of home care compared to hospital care for stroke patients. Data Sources: A search was conducted between January 1990 and January 2021. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched systematically. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to select the studies. Data Extraction: To evaluate the quality of studies included in this systematic review, Drummond’s ten-item checklist was used. Results: Five economic evaluation studies were included in this review. The included studies reported different results regarding the effect of home care on improving different indicators and the cost-effectiveness ratio of home care to hospital care. Most previous studies reported that home care is a more cost-effective option for improving many indicators, such as physical function and quality-adjusted life years (QALY), and for reducing mortality and institutionalization, compared to hospital care. Conclusions: Home care is a more cost-effective option than hospital care for stroke patients with regard to some indicators, such as the Barthel index for Activities of Daily Living, Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), quality of life, mortality, and institutionalization. However, there are some exemptions to this conclusion. Due to limitations, such as heterogeneity of interventions in the existing studies, different levels of patients’ disabilities, different perspectives toward economic evaluation, and differences in the healthcare systems of countries, further research is needed according to the context of each country based on clinical trials.

The World

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.

Objective Assessment

A nemzetközi szakirodalom egyre gyakrabban foglalkozik azzal a kérdéssel, hogy a minőségi indikátorokra támaszkodó nyilvános minőségértékelésnek mi a hatása az ellátás minőségére és az érintettek döntésére vonatkozóan, illetve melyek azok a kritériumok, amelyek mentén nyilvános minőségértékelési rendszereket célszerű kialakítani. A nemzetközi szakirodalom alapján a dolgozat hat témakört mutat be: (1) az indikátorok képessége a szolgáltatók megkülönböztetésére; (2) az eredményindikátorok alkalmassága a szolgáltatók megítélésére; (3) a bajnoki tabellák képessége a szolgáltatók rangsorolására; (4) a lakosság viselkedése a szolgáltatók választása során; (5) az indikátorokra támaszkodó nyilvános minősítések hatásai; (6) ajánlások minősítési rendszerek kidolgozására. A szakirodalmi kutatások szerint elsősorban a kockázatkiegyenlítési problémák miatt az indikátorok képessége a szolgáltatók megkülönböztetésére a nyújtott ellátás minősége szempontjából kérdéses; az elért ellátási eredmények nem feltétlenül utalnak vissza az ellátási folyamatok minőségére; a több indikátorból komponált intézményi sorrendek (bajnoki tabellák) nem megbízhatóak; a lakosság a szolgáltatók kiválasztásakor elsősorban a környezet véleményét és a távolságot veszi figyelembe; és a nyilvános közlések hatására igazoltan romlik az ellátás átfogó minősége. A szolgáltatók értékelésében alkalmazott mérési eredmények közzétételét eszköznek kell tekinteni. A lakosság intézményválasztásának elősegítésére az ő preferenciáik mentén végzett betegelégedettségi vizsgálatok nyilvánossá tétele hozhatja meg a kívánt eredményt. A minőségfejlesztési célokat igazoltan segítik a szolgáltatói körben végzett közvetlen visszajelzések az indikátorok mért értékeiről, illetve pontosabb kép kapható az ellátási és szervezési folyamatok, standardok egységes felülvizsgálatára alapozott eljárások külső értékelési rendszerekbe történő beemelésével.
