Age, Gender and Racial Disparities in Acute Stroke Therapy in a Large Non-Academic Health System (P3.261)

Conclusions:We confirmed known disparities in ATT rates between PSC and AH. No disparity in age or gender were identified in this population. Racial disparity was problematic because of a small number of non-white patients and a number of patients with no racial data captured. Better racial data collection, analysis of access to care, and care process modeling might impact these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Taylor has nothing to disclose.
