Sex Differences in Stroke Care and Outcomes: A National Stroke Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous evidence on sex differences in stroke care and outcomes was limited in sample representativeness and coverage of care indicators. We aim to investigate various indicators of stroke care quality, survival, and functional outcome at discharge between men and women, using a national stroke registry.

Methods

Ten key indicators, representative from across stroke care pathway, were compared between men and women using the Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme, a national quality register for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland (2013-2023, n=844 970). Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust variance were constructed to estimated adjusted relative risks (ARR). The 1-year adjusted hazard ratios (AHR) of mortality were conducted using adjusted restr
