Black patients were less likely to receive AIS treatments, and if treated had lower likelihood of 30-day mortality, discharge home and outpatient visits. Despite advancements in practice and therapies, racial disparities remain in the modern era of AIS care and are consistent with inequalities previously identified over the last 20 years. The impact of hospital attributes on AIS care disparities warrants further investigation.
