Objective: This study identifies 30-day post discharge direct medical and nonmedical resources of ischemic stroke patients who are participants from The BURden of Ischemic STroke (BURST) Study. Methods: The BURST Study is a prospective, observational study with a cohort (N=200) of ischemic stroke patients recruited in a consecutive manner at stroke sites (N=10) across Canada. In addition to four questionnaires, study participants were asked to complete a 30-day diary after discharge evaluating physician and health professional visits (direct medical) as well as paid services and purchase of stroke-related items (direct nonmedical). Results: A total of 61 diaries were analyzed. Demographics included mean age 62.7 ± 15.5 (27 – 93) years, 52.4% male and 72.1% discharged as outpatients. On average, 4.8 ± 5.9 (0 – 28) doctor visits were reported. Inpatients at rehabilitation and long term care facilities had a mean 10.2 ± 8.4 (1 – 28) visits compared to 2.9 ± 3.0 (0 – 12) by outpatients. Nurses, therapists (physiotherapy, occupational and speech), social workers and dieticians were the most visited health professionals by all patients with a mean 20.1 ± 29.3 (0 – 98) visits. Inpatients reported more visits with a mean 59.2 ± 25.8 (3 – 98) visits compared to 4.9 ± 10.4 (0 – 52) by outpatients. Seventeen patients reported an average 10.5 ± 10.1 (1 – 30) paid service visits while 19 patients purchased at least one stroke-related item under $499. Conclusion: Patients reported an average 5 doctor visits and 20 health professional visits, 30 days following their first ischemic stroke. The average number of visits increased if patients were discharged to an inpatient facility. Approximately 30% patients paid for services (e.g. housekeeping or transportation) and also purchased stroke- related items (e.g. cane or home renovations). The next step will be to apply unit costs to this data for cost calculations
