Introduction: Acute stroke care in stroke units (SUs) compared to care in general medicine wards provides benefits to the patient. Development: Acute stroke care in an SU has shown benefits in reducing mortality, institutionalisation, dependency and costs compared to care in internal medicine wards, and even a lower risk of recurrence in the long term.
