Description
Irene Scala and co-authors presented a 2026 conference study on racial gaps in stroke care timing in Italy. Studies from the United States show minorities reach reperfusion treatment less often, but Italian evidence was lacking. The team enrolled 2,402 adults with ischemic stroke at fourteen Italian centers. They compared treatment rates and onset-to-door times between White and non-White patients.
About thirty-six percent received intravenous thrombolysis and twenty-eight percent received endovascular treatment. Being White was not tied to receiving either treatment after adjustment. It was tied to arriving at hospital sooner, by a wide margin. Non-White patients were younger and less often women. The authors conclude that timely access, rather than treatment decisions in hospital, is where the disparity sits. They call for work on what slows arrival.
