Key result
Ischemic stroke 90-day outcomes show no significant disparity trends between Mexican American and non-Hispanic White patients.
Observational
Short-term stroke outcomes improved over time for MA persons but not NHW persons, eliminating racial-ethnic disparities by 2019.
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to quantify trends (2008-2019) in stroke outcomes by race-ethnicity. METHODS: Patients with ischemic stroke from a population-based study were interviewed at 90 days to assess outcomes. Linear regression with multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting was used to model trends. RESULTS: for interaction = 0.21) outcomes were noted. DISCUSSION: Outcome improvements were noted in MA but not NHW persons with stroke; race-ethnic differences were not present in 2019. Understanding factors contributing to favorable trends in MA persons may be informative for improving outcomes in all persons.

Lisabeth et al. (2024) conducted an observational in Ischemic stroke. Race-ethnicity (MA vs NHW) vs. NHW persons was evaluated on Stroke outcomes at 90 days (p=0.21). Outcome improvements at 90 days were noted in MA but not NHW persons with ischemic stroke between 2008 and 2019, with no race-ethnic differences present in 2019 (p for interaction = 0.21).
