Abstract:
This study was designed to estimate the economic burden of poststroke aphasia. HRS data were used to calculate medical expenses, lost wages, and the cost of informal care for each stroke survivor. To determine the cost of poststroke aphasia, respondents with aphasia were matched with those without aphasia and the calculated cost differential was attributed to be from aphasia. In recent years, a variety of studies and figures relating the cost of illness have been generated across a variety of conditions. While these estimates provide up-to-date information for policy development and decision-making, additional research is needed into the costs of aphasia and the economic benefits of treatment.
