Abstract
A case study of severely disabled patients needing regular mechanical help with breathing following poliomyelitis was set up in 1970 to establish what medical, technical and social support would be required for home rather than hospital care. These 2 care alternatives are considered from an economic point of view and a detailed cost comparison is made between entirely hospital based care and predominantly home based care.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
