Race, Ethnic, Sex, and Socioeconomic Inequities in Interhospital Transfer for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States

Abstract

Adjusted odds of IHT for acute ischemic stroke remained stable from 2010 to 2017. There are numerous inequities in the rates of IHT by race, ethnicity, sex, insurance, and income. Further studies are needed to understand these inequities and develop policies and interventions to mitigate them.
