Outcomes in the Year After First-Ever Ischemic Stroke in a Bi-Ethnic Population.

To investigate stroke outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months post-stroke overall and by ethnicity in a population-based, longitudinal study.

Methods

First-ever ischemic strokes (2014-2019, n = 1,332) among Mexican American persons (n = 807) and non-Hispanic white persons (n = 525) were identified from the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project.
