The American Heart Association (AHA) has opened a Stroke Data Challenge to researchers and clinicians to advance the understanding of how social and structural determinants of health influence stroke presentation, care quality, and clinical outcomes. To address these questions, county-level estimates of mortality and social determinants of health from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington have been merged with the AHA Get With The Guidelines National Stroke registry data. The National Stroke Registry includes deidentified patient-level data from acute stroke admissions across 2000 hospitals in the United States. The data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation include each hospital’s local county stroke mortality rates as well as socioeconomic characteristics. When available, these data are also included for each patient’s county of residence when it differs from the hospital’s county location. This unique dataset brought together by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and the AHA will provide researchers and clinicians with a rich foundation of local community data on one of the largest patient-level stroke registries in existence. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States, but the third leading cause of death in women. 1 By 2030, it is projected that an additional 3.4 million US adults will have had a stroke. 1 This is a 20.5% increase in prevalence from 2012. The AHA Get With The Guidelines–Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to the latest scientific treatment guidelines for patients. Since the program’s start in2003, over 2000 hospitals have helped to improve patient outcomes through this quality improvement program. As we face a steep increase in prevalence, we are asking the research and clinical community to engage in this Stroke Data Challenge to help better understand how social and structural determinants of health influence stroke presentation, care quality, and clinical outcomes.For this data challenge, stroke events recorded in the registry are being paired with data from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s United States Health Disparities Project. This project uses data from the National Center for Health Statistics, the United States Census, and a range of other sources to provide comparable and consistent estimates of cause-specific mortality, health risks, and socioeconomic conditions over time. Stroke mortality rates are estimated for the county overall as well as for subgroups within the county. Statistical models that borrow strength across age, space, and time are used to reduce noise from small sample sizes, handle missingness, or account for under-specified information in the source data. 2 When the datasets are merged, each patient file is enriched with the mortality rates specific for their age, sex, race and ethnicity group, and stroke subtype for the year in which their stroke event occurred. County-level data on social determinants are also added, including estimates of per capita income, poverty, unemployment, home ownership, and education.
