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
文摘Ischemic stroke subtype distribution was compared between Mexican Americans (MAs) and non Hispanic whites (NHWs) in a community based stroke surveillance study in Nueces County,TX. 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.
