Rural and Urban Disparities in Access to Endovascular Thrombectomy for Large Vessel Occlusions in Colorado
Rural patients experienced longer time to intervention and had worse outcomes after a stroke with large vessel occlusions. Each rural patient with large vessel occlusions lost ≈1.7 years of disability-free life compared with an urban patient with the same severity stroke. More work needs to be done to identify and quantify the sources of delay for rural patients.
