ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine associations between neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and 90-day poststroke outcomes.METHODS:
The Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi Project is a population-based surveillance study in Nueces County, Texas. Patients with strokes were identified between 2010 and 2016 via active and passive surveillance and enrolled in the study. nSES index is a standardized composite of 2010 Census tract-level income, wealth, education, and employment (median -4.56, interquartile range -7.48 to -0.46). The 90-day outcomes were ascertained via interview functional status measured by the average of 22 activities of daily living/instrumental activities of daily living (range 1-4), biopsychosocial health by the Stroke-Specific Quality of Life scale (range 0-5), and depressive symptoms by the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire (range 0-24). Associations between nSES and outcomes were estimated using confounder-adjusted generalized estimating equations with an nSES × NIH Stroke Scale score interaction term.RESULTS:
Seven hundred seventy-six survivors made up the analytical sample (52.96% male, 62.24% Mexican American, 52.96% ≥64 years old). Higher compared to lower nSES (mean difference comparing 75th to 25th percentile of nSES) was associated with better function (-0.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.49 to -0.05), better biopsychosocial health (0.26, 95% CI 0.06-0.47), and fewer depressive symptoms (-1.77, 95% CI -3.306 to -0.48) among those with moderate to severe strokes. Among those with minor strokes, higher nSES was associated with better function (-0.13, 95% CI -0.24 to -0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
nSES may influence poststroke recovery. Studies should identify neighborhood characteristics that contribute to poststroke outcomes, particularly in moderate to severe stroke survivors.
