Patients with one complication lost 1.52 additional DALY on average, while patients with two or more complications lost 2.69 DALY.
"This study delineates the burden of post-stroke complications with a more comparable and more understandable scale - healthy life years lost," said Keun-Sik Hong, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study and associate professor at Inje University in South Korea.
