The use of national administrative data to describe the spatial distribution of in-hospital mortality following stroke in France 2008–2011

摘要

BackgroundIn the context of implementing the National Stroke Plan in France, a spatial approach was used to measure inequalities in this disease. Using the national PMSI-MCO databases, we analyzed the in-hospital prevalence of stroke and established a map of in-hospital mortality rates with regard to the socio-demographic structure of the country.
