Access to mechanical thrombectomy and ischemic stroke mortality in Japan: a spatial ecological study

The relationship between accessibility and IS mortality is unknown; however, regardless of accessibility, municipalities with a high proportion of workers in secondary industries and a small proportion with bachelor’s degrees or above are at risk of death from stroke.
