Therewas no difference in the distribution of stroke subtype by ethnicity (p = 0.19). There was a similar proportion of small vessel and large artery strokes between the two ethnic groups (p = 0.32). Differences in stroke rates among MAs and NHWs are not explained by the distribution of ischemic stroke subtypes.展开更多
