Trends in Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Care and Long-Term Outcomes
This cohort study found major and persistent ethnic inequalities in stroke care and outcomes, and these disparities were not fully explained by sociodemographic or stroke-related factors or the high vascular risk factor prevalence in Black African and Black Caribbean participants. Drivers of poor functional outcomes require further research, but cardiovascular health-checks should be considered for Black African individuals at younger ages, and late hospital arrivals and low thrombolysis rates in Black Caribbean individuals might be amenable to tailored health campaigns.
