A total of 10,974 (72.1%) cases were admitted in public hospitals with a larger proportion of hemorrhagic strokes compared to private hospitals (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &amp;lt; 0.001). Public hospitals cases were younger, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and more often have lifestyle risk factors. Only 620 (9.3%) ischemic stroke cases underwent revascularization. While relatively more cases received thrombolysis in public hospitals, major diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were performed less compared to private hospitals. Overall, in-hospital fatality was 16.4%, higher in public hospitals (20.5%) with worse neurological outcomes at discharge than in private hospitals.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our registry demonstrated a high burden of hemorrhagic stroke, delayed hospital arrival, underutilization of reperfusion therapies, and striking disparities between public and private hospitals in the PNA1DB.
