A comparative study of mortality and infectious complications in patients admitted to neurological and general wards

We analyse the outcome of patients with cerebral infarction depending the admission in neurological department or in general wards. We find an improvement of the changes in Toronto, Mathew and Barthel scales and a reduction in the mortality in patients admitted in Neurological department. The improvement is related with a reduction in infectious complications observed in the Neurological ward. Our data suggest that the place of the patient admission in the hospital may influence the prognosis of stroke patients and should be consider in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
