다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

institutional care or dependent living after stroke. Based on this evidence, stroke units have becomes popular among
large-scale hospitals in developed countries. The aim of this study was to provide perspective regarding the efficacy of
stroke units and their current status in developed countries.
Methods and Results: An electronic search was conducted using the Cochrane Database, PubMed, and other online
databases, in addition to a manual search. The efficacy of stroke-unit care compared to general-ward care was
summarized and is presented with respect to death, death or institutional care, and death or dependency by the end of
the scheduled follow-up. Current concepts and the status of stroke-unit services among developed countries were
reviewed and compared with each other. The desirable models of stroke-unit services are discussed in terms of the stroke
center.
Conclusions: Stroke is the second leading cause of death in Korea and there that stroke-unit care is effective at improving
the outcome of stroke patients. The expeditious development and realization of organized inpatient care for stroke
victims should be a Government priority.
