Objective: It was aimed to investigate and costs of stroke patients.
Materials and methods: A database of stroke patients admitted between November 15th, 2016, and November 15th,
2017.was constructed. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize cost and patients’ demographics. Mann-Witney U test
was used in the analysis of nonparametric data. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant
Results: A total of 91 patients were analyzed, the median age was 79 (12) years.
The median cost for ischemic stroke patients included in our study was $573.78 [$1307.75], while for hemorrhagic stroke
patients, it was $1161.69 [$2128]. We found a statistically significant difference in costs between stroke types (p<0.05). The
cost of hemorrhagic stroke to our hospital was higher.

gender and comorbidities did not affect the cost.
