E-089 Rural versus metropolitan stroke activation incidence: using Viz.ai to determine disease penetrance

ConclusionCompared to a metropolitan PSC in our network, two rural PSCs had significantly higher per capita incidence of stroke activations. There was a trend toward higher per capita thrombectomy alerts as well. Given the known health disparities in rural regions of the US, these findings provide clear confirmation of the importance of stroke care protocols in rural areas, and the value of rapid identification and triage for rural communities. Our future studies will examine more detailed patient-specific factors based on geographic region.Disclosures J. Fraser: None. J. Frank: None. A. Chen: None. M. Campbell: None. L. Wise: None. B.
