Introduction: Chronic diseases are in the center of attention among the aging population. Among these diseases is the Stroke (CVA), which is considered a disease of great social impact and is the leading cause of death in the country. Objectives: The objective is to evaluate the assistance provided to patients with CVA before and after being placed in the CVA Unit, through indicators. Methods: This is an epidemiological study of service evaluation that is quantitative, explorative, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective. This study was done at the University Hospital of Botucatu in the state of São Paulo where a CVA Unit was created in the ER in 2011 to serve the region of Bauru. Results: 245 records were analyzed during two periods: six months before (January 29, 2011 to July 28, 2011-63 patients) and six months after the use of the Unit (July 29, 2011 to January 28, 2012 - 182 patients). There was no statistical difference between the profile of patients in the two study time points (age, length of stay, severity at admission). Male patients, patients of low education and patients with stable marriages dominated the population studied. 49.39% of patients came from Botucatu while 29.49% came from Central Regulatory vacancy. The ICTUS time predominated in the morning with 39.15%. 59.84% showed changes in strength in relation to the signs and symptoms. Ischemic CVA was present in 87.3% of cases. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor with 75.92%. The mean hospital stay was 5-9 days. Conservative treatment represented 74.49%. The mortality rate was 20.69% before using the Unit and 12.73% after using the Unit. Conclusion: The indicators show a reduction in the mortality rate and degree of disability of patients in the CVA Unit after implementation of the specialized Unit, indicating that the specialized Unit has added benefits to patients
