Sex and Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Revascularisation Treatments and Post-Stroke Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure: A National Inpatient Sample Study.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: We aimed to determine sex and racial/ethnic disparities in associations between Acute Ischaemic stroke (AIS) with co-morbid heart failure (HF) and in-hospital outcomes, using the US National Inpatient Sample (NIS) in this retrospective observational study based on administrative data. Methods: AIS admissions from January 2016 to December 2019 were extracted from the NIS. Logistic regressions analysed relationships between HF and in-hospital mortality, length of stay >4 days, thrombectomy, thrombolysis, and complications at discharge adjusted for age and comorbidities. Additional models examined interactions between HF and sex, and HF and race/ethnicity. Results: Among 1,744,390 AIS hospitalizations, 16.36% had HF. 69.00% were White, 17.86% Black,
