The costs of disorders of the brain in Switzerland: an update from the European Brain Council Study for 2010.

The costs of disorders of the brain in Switzerland: an update from the European Brain Council Study for 2010.

CONCLUSION: The estimates of the EBC 2010 study for Switzerland provide a basis for health care planning. Increase in size and costs compared to 2005 are mostly due to the inclusion of new disorders (e.g., sleep disorders), or the re-definition of others (e.g., headache) and to an increase in younger cohorts. We suggest coordinated research and preventive measures coordinated between governmental bodies, private health-care and pharmaceutical companies.
