Improving outcomes and decreasing costs for neurological diseases: mind the gap.
Authors
Abstract
Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and the second leading cause of deaths. The four large contributors of neurological DALYs are stroke, migraine, dementia and meningitis [1]. Global and regional actions to decrease this burden are urgently needed. To appropriately set priorities and allocate resources for such actions, political leaders need to be informed by epidemiological and health economic studies.
