Factors Underlying Stroke Recovery Variation by Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status

1

Neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) significantly influences 90-day stroke recovery outcomes in survivors.
2

Modifiable factors such as access to rehabilitation services and neighborhood walkability may mediate recovery outcomes.
3

The study analyzed data from 5215 stroke survivors in the BASIC Project, focusing on those living in noninstitutionalized settings.
4

Causal mediation analyses were conducted to identify how various factors impact the relationship between nSES and recovery.
5

Identifying modifiable factors could inform interventions aimed at reducing stroke-related disability in high-risk populations.
