associated with stroke nationally and in
Maryland
Discuss the structure of Maryland EMS and its
relation to Primary Stroke Centers

Defining the Problem
Nationally
700,000 strokes occur annually; 500,000 new and 200,000
recurring.
160,000 (22.8%) are fatal.
Stroke is the third leading cause of death behind heart disease
and cancer.
Average lifetime medical costs per patient range from $90,000
for ischemic stroke to $225,000 for subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Americans will pay about $57.9 billion in 2006 for stroke-related
medical costs and disability.
Intravenous t-PA treatment rates for ischemic stroke range from
1-6%.
- American Stroke Association
Defining the Problem
In Maryland
More Marylanders will die from stroke in a given year than
from chronic respiratory disease, diabetes, accidents/trauma,
influenza and pneumonia combined. In Maryland, stroke is
the third leading cause of death across all races and
genders.
In 2005, 2,465 people died from a stroke in Maryland.
14% of Maryland’s stroke patients are less than 65 years old.
The total cost of hospitalizations in Maryland due to stroke
was almost $163 million in 2005, with the average hospital
stay costing $12,095.
- Maryland State Advisory Council on
Heart Disease and Stroke
AHA/ASA Chain of Survival
Rapid recognition and reaction to stroke warning signs.
Rapid Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch.
Rapid EMS system transport and hospital prenotification.
Rapid diagnosis and treatment in the hospital.
Maryland Stroke Action Plan
Overarching system coordination through the Maryland
State Advisory Council on Heart Disease and Stroke.
Primary prevention through community physicians,
hospitals, local and State agencies and networks, and
national interest groups.
EMS coordination through MIEMSS.
Acute stroke treatment through establishing a network of
Primary Stroke Centers (PSCs).
Sub-acute stroke care and secondary prevention through
dedicated stroke units, staffing and protocols.
Rehabilitation.
