Stroke Treatment, not Neuroimaging, Drives Stroke Hospital Cost Growth
A study by the Neiman Health Policy Institute found that the costs of an Ischemic Stroke episode increased 4.9% from 2012 to 2019. However, the main driver of those costs was changes in treatments, such as endovascular thrombectomy and intravenous thrombolysis; increases in various types of neuroimaging were not key cost drivers. Over the study period, the share of episodes with treatment increased 155% from 7.3% to 18.5%. There were increases of 80% and 476% in the number of episodes with IVT-only or EVT.
