Age-Related Disparity Trends in Stroke-Related Mortality in the United States, 1999 to 2019

Stroke hospitalizations and mortality have declined in older subjects in the United States; however, acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations have increased in subjects 25 to 64  years of age.1,2 Regardless of increasing acute ischemic stroke hospitalization trends in young patients, population-based estimates and trends of stroke (including hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke) related mortality stratified by age groups are currently scarce. Therefore, in this study, we assess ed trends in stroke mortality rates in varying age groups over 2 decades in the United States.
