Various sociodemographic variables on acute and inpatient stroke care
Background
Key factors affecting stroke outcomes include swift diagnosis and early treatment, however, disparities in symptom recognition, particularly in minority groups, impact timely care. This study examines the influence of patient characteristics on stroke metrics, focusing on factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, race, insurance status, and language preference.
Methods
We conducted a multicenter, retrospective study using the National Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) database, analyzing 37,956 acute ischemic stroke (AIS) cases from 170 HCA hospitals between 2017 and 2022. We evaluated the impact of demographic and patient-specific factors on tPA administration rates, time-to-tPA (TtPA), and hospital length of stay (LOS). Statistical methods included odds ratios, one-way ANOVA, mixed-effects models, and negative binomial regression.
Results
Factors affecting tPA administration included age, sex, and insurance status. Patients aged 45 and older and those with Medicaid or Medicare were less likely to receive tPA. NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores significantly influenced tPA administration rates and TtPA. Language preference did not impact tPA administration rates or TtPa, but non-English speakers experienced longer hospital stays. Hispanic and Black patients also had longer LOS compared to non-Hispanic and White patients, respectively.
Conclusion
This study underscores the need for targeted interventions to address disparities in stroke management and outcomes. Future research should explore the underlying causes of these differences and develop strategies to enhance stroke care equity across diverse patient populations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
