Racial and Ethnic Differences in Advance Care Planning and End-of-Life Care in Older Adults With Stroke

Hispanic or non-Hispanic Black decedents with stroke had significantly lower rates of ACP discussions, LWs, and naming a DPOAH compared with those who identified as non-Hispanic White. In addition, ACP activities were inversely associated with receipt of life-prolonging care among non-Hispanic White decedents, but not among those who identified as non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic. Small ethnic/racial subgroup sizes limit the generalizability of this study.
