Sociodemographic disparities in long-term mortality among stroke survivors in the United States: The REGARDS Study

Stroke Mar 17, 2019

Elfassy T, et al. - In this REGARDS study, which included 1,329 black and white participants, researchers described long-term (> 30 days) mortality rates among stroke survivors, and determined whether there exist socioeconomic disparities. They found that long-term mortality was high in older individuals as well as among men vs women. The age-adjusted mortality rate among adults who survived ≥ 30 days poststroke was 82.3 per 1,000 person-years. Investigators found that long-term mortality rates among stroke survivors were higher among people with lower socioeconomic status (SES) and those living in lower SES neighborhood. No differences, however, were found in age-adjusted rates of long-term post-stroke mortality by race, rurality, or US region. These results highlighted the need for improvements in post-stroke long-term care, particularly among lower SES individuals.
