Quality of acute stroke care in Romania : Achievements and gaps between 2017 and 2022

© European Stroke Organisation 2022..

Romania has one of the highest incidences of stroke and one of the highest mortality rates in Europe. The mortality rate due to treatable causes is also very high and is associated with the lowest public spending on healthcare in the European Union. Nonetheless, significant achievements in acute stroke care have been made in Romania in the last 5 years, most notably the increase of the national thrombolysis rate from 0.8% to 5.4%. Numerous educational workshops and constant communication with the stroke centers led to a solid and active stroke network. Due to the joint efforts of this stroke network and the ESO-EAST project, the quality of stroke care has significantly improved. However, Romania still faces many problems: a major lack of specialists in interventional neuroradiology and consequently a low number of stroke patients treated by thrombectomy and carotid revascularization procedures, a low number of neuro-rehabilitation centers and a country-wide lack of neurologists.
