Association Between Sociodemographic Disparities and Door to Computerized Tomography Time in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Across COVID-19 Periods in the Emergency Department: A Multi-Center Cohort Study
We demonstrated a discrepancy in DTCT time for acute ischemic stroke patients based on their race and ethnic population and an increase in DTCT time after the start of COVID-19, which has persisted after the pandemic. These diverse factors highlight the complex interplay of logistical, organizational, and healthcare challenges that have influenced DTCT time.
