Prior studies have shown socioeconomic disparities in advanced neuroimaging and acute treatment utilization in ischemic stroke patients. We analyzed whether socioeconomic factors were associated with stroke neuroimaging and acute treatment utilization at a comprehensive stroke center. Retrospective study of consecutive acute ischemic stroke discharges at a comprehensive stroke center was performed from 2012–2020. Differences in neuroimaging (CTA, CTP, MRI, MRA) and acute treatment (intravenous thrombolysis – IVT, endovascular thrombectomy – EVT) utilization were evaluated based on socioeconomic factors of age, sex, race, insurance type, and neighborhood-level median household income. Chi-square tests were used for bivariate analyses. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine associations between socioeconomic factors and neuroimaging or treatment utilization, while controlling for stroke-specific factors and comorbidities. Of 6,140 ischemic stroke discharges, race and insurance type were not significantly associated with lower utilization of neuroimaging (CTA, CTP, MRI, MRA) or acute stroke treatment (IVT, EVT), after controlling for stroke-specific factors and comorbidities. However, median household income <$80,000/year was associated with lower IVT use (OR=0.74 [0.63–0.87]). In addition, age 80+ years had lower CTA (OR=0.62 [0.51–0.75]) and EVT (OR=0.53 [0.39–0.73]), and female sex had lower CTA (OR=0.78 [0.65–0.93]) utilization. Significantly higher utilization was observed for MRI in Asian (OR=1.33 [1.04–1.69]) and uninsured patients (OR=1.64 [1.07–2.50]), and MRA (OR=1.24 [1.04–1.49]) and EVT (OR=1.62 [1.20–2.20]) in privately-insured patients. Once access to a comprehensive stroke center is achieved, socioeconomic disparities in the utilization of healthcare resources, particularly advanced neuroimaging and acute treatment, may be improved in ischemic stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to assess for differences in advanced neuroimaging and acute treatment utilization associated with socioeconomic factors (age, sex, race, health insurance type, median household income) in ischemic stroke patients from 2012 to 2020.
