Key result
Mexican-Americans showed a trend toward higher completed ischemic stroke hospitalization rates compared with non-Hispanic whites, and were less likely to receive neuroimaging (p=0.001).
Why the study?
Are completed ischemic stroke hospitalization rates higher among Mexican-Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites?
Observational
No
Are completed ischemic stroke hospitalization rates higher among Mexican-Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites?
Mexican-Americans may experience higher rates of ischemic stroke hospitalization along with significant disparities in healthcare access and utilization of neuroimaging compared to non-Hispanic whites.

May signal stroke care disparities for Mexican-Americans; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in adjusted cohorts.
Morgenstern et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Ischemic stroke. Mexican-American ethnicity vs. Non-Hispanic white ethnicity was evaluated on Completed ischemic stroke hospitalization rates. Mexican-Americans showed a trend toward higher completed ischemic stroke hospitalization rates compared with non-Hispanic whites, and were less likely to receive neuroimaging (p=0.001).
