Provision of Stroke Care Services by Community Disadvantage Status in the US, 2009-2022

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39052294/ Provision of stroke care services by community disadvantage status in the US, 2009-2022 Stroke center certification is granted to facilities that demonstrate distinct capabilities for treating patients with stroke. A thorough understanding of structural discrimination in the provision of stroke centers is critical for identifying and implementing effective interventions to improve health inequities for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Researchers in this study aimed to determine whether (1) hospitals in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities (defined using the Area Deprivation Index) are less likely to adopt any stroke certification and (2) adoption rates differ between entry-level (acute stroke-ready hospitals) and higher-level certifications (primary, thrombectomy capable, and comprehensive) by community disadvantage status.
