Description
Ettore Nicolini and co-authors presented this 2026 conference study on Italy's shortage of stroke unit beds. European targets say at least ninety percent of stroke patients should reach a dedicated stroke unit. The MAPSTROKE project modeled whether Italy's beds can meet that bar. It counted beds and typical stay lengths at primary and comprehensive stroke centers.
The model assigned each region's strokes to units until their beds filled. National capacity reached about eighty-six thousand admissions a year, covering seventy-nine percent of strokes. Only five regions met the ninety percent target. The lowest, Basilicata, covered about forty-one percent. Italy needs 255 more stroke beds to hit the target under current stay lengths. The study gives regions a concrete gap to close.
