Cohort study investigates employment disparities among ethnic groups post-stroke, suggesting significant inequalities.

This study aims to explore ethnic differences in return to work after the first stroke among various ethnic groups.
Included 1,737 individuals from the South London Stroke Register (1995–2025) employed at stroke onset.
Examined employment status at one and five years using multinomial logistic regression.
Adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical factors such as age, sex, socioeconomic deprivation, and mental health conditions.
Black-African individuals were 53% less likely to be employed at one year post-stroke (RRR 0.47, 95% CI [0.29-0.75]).
Black-Caribbean individuals were 60% less likely to be employed at one year (RRR 0.40, 95% CI [0.22-0.75]).
The disadvantage for Black-African individuals persisted at five years (RRR 0.59, 95% CI [0.30-1.15]).

Khanolkar et al. (2026) studied this question.
