Service delivery in acute ischemic stroke patients : Does sex matter?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Women with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are older and have greater preexisting handicap than men. Given that these factors do not fully explain their poorer long-term outcomes, we sought to investigate potential sex differences in the delivery of acute stroke care in a large cohort of consecutive AIS patients.
METHODS: We analyzed all patients from ASTRAL (Acute Stroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne) from March 2003 to December 2019. Multivariable analyses were performed on acute time metrics, revascularization therapies, ancillary examinations for stroke workup, subacute symptomatic carotid artery revascularization, frequency of change in goals of care (palliative care), and length of hospital stay.
RESULTS: Of the 5347 analyzed patients, 45% were biologically female and the median age was 74.6 years. After multiple adjustments, female sex was significantly associated with higher onset-to-door (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04-1.14) and door-to-endovascular-puncture intervals (aHR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.05-1.25). Women underwent numerically fewer diagnostic examinations (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.94, 95% CI = 0.85-1.04) and fewer subacute carotid revascularizations (aOR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.33-1.18), and had longer hospital stays (aHR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.99-1.07), but these differences were not statistically significant. We found no differences in the rates of acute revascularization treatments, or in the frequency of change of goals of treatments.
CONCLUSIONS: This retrospective analysis of a large, consecutive AIS cohort suggests that female sex is associated with unfavorable pre- and in-hospital time metrics, such as a longer onset-to-door and door-to-endovascular-puncture intervals. Such indicators of less effective stroke care delivery may contribute to the poorer long-term functional outcomes in female patients and require further attention.
