Socioeconomic differences in quality of care and clinical outcome after stroke: a nationwide population-based study.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:In 2008, the Ministry of Health and Welfare of South Korea initiated the Regional Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC) program to decrease the incidence and mortality of stroke nationwide. We evaluated the performance of acute ischemic stroke management after the Regional CSC program was introduced....
