Lack of diversity in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting: Implications for the Distressed Community Index
Our cohort showed underrepresentation in terms of sex, race, and ethnicity, with a skewed DCI distribution towards lower community distress. Contrary to what we know about community distress, no independent association between higher community distress and post-CAS stroke/mortality risk was found. Future work must examine whether accessibility barriers and selective CAS allocation explain our results.
