Functional outcome was determined by the modified Rankin Scale score 90 days after stroke. SES was defined by educational attainment, family income, and employment status before stroke. SES data were available from Statistics Denmark and linked on the individual level with data from the Danish Stroke Registry. Uni- and multivariable ordinal logistic regression was performed for each socioeconomic parameter individually (education, income, and employment) to estimate the common odds ratios (cORs) for lower 90-day modified Rankin Scale scores.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 5666 patients were included. Mean age was 68.7 years (95% CI, 68.3\u201369.0), and 38.4% were female. Low SES was associated with lower odds for achieving lower 90-day modified Rankin Scale score: Low versus high education, cOR, 0.69 (95% CI, 0.61\u20130.79), low versus high income, cOR, 0.59 (95% CI, 0.53\u20130.67), and unemployed versus employed, cOR, 0.70 (95% CI, 0.58\u20130.83). Inequalities were reduced after adjusting for age, sex, and immigrant status, except for unemployed versus employed patients, adjusted cOR, 0.66 (95% CI, 0.54\u20130.80). No statistically significant differences remained after adjusting for potentially mediating variables (eg, stroke severity, prestroke modified Rankin Scale, and smoking).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Socioeconomic inequalities were observed in functional outcome after reperfusion treated ischemic stroke. In particular, prestroke unemployment was negatively associated with good functional outcome. A more adverse prognostic profile among patients with low SES appeared to explain the majority of these inequalities.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/strokeaha.123.043547","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,28]],"date-time":"2023-06-28T09:00:17Z","timestamp":1687942817000},"page":"2040-2049","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Socioeconomic Inequalities in Functional Outcome After Reperfusion-Treated Ischemic Stroke"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5576-4049","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sine Mette \u00d8gendahl","family":"Buus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark (S.M.\u00d8.B., M.L.S., G.A., C.Z.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5082-4815","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marie Louise","family":"Schmitz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark (S.M.\u00d8.B., M.L.S., G.A., C.Z.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6775-2782","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pia","family":"Cordsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danish Center for Health Services Research, Aalborg University, Gistrup, Denmark (P.C., S.P.J.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2787-0271","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"S\u00f8ren","family":"Paaske Johnsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Danish Center for Health Services Research, Aalborg University, Gistrup, Denmark (P.C., S.P.J.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6807-2500","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Grethe","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark (S.M.\u00d8.B., M.L.S., G.A., C.Z.S.)."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Denmark (G.A., C.Z.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1363-0266","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Claus Ziegler","family":"Simonsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus N, Denmark (S.M.\u00d8.B., M.L.S., G.A., C.Z.S.)."},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Denmark (G.A., C.Z.S.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(13)61953-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pmedr.2020.101124"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.639732"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.114.007569"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech-2021-216481"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.114.001629"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.114.005323"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.121.037687"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-14-281"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/SVIN.121.000133"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/CLEP.S179083"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","unstructured":"Bekendtg\u00f8relse om genoptr\u00e6ningsplaner og om patienters valg af genoptr\u00e6ningstilbud efter udskrivning fra sygehus.
