WHOM is going to be assigned and come up with solutions to these disparities? I bet incompetence will reign and nothing will be done.
Sociodemographic disparities in long-term mortality among stroke survivors in the United States: The REGARDS Study
Stroke — Elfassy T, et al. | March 14, 2019
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(It shows a need for better results, NOT CARE), particularly among lower SES individuals.
