Description
Summary:Abstract Objective To examine racial and ethnic differences in cognition and motor skills post-stroke in Asian and Black patients at admission and discharge. Method Participants were Asian (N = 5659), Black (N = 51,909), and non-Asian/non-Black stroke patients (N = 174,679) admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities across the United States. Patient functionality was assessed via the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Age at admission, admission year, sex, marital status, insurance type, and length of stay were included as covariates. Results Hierarchical linear regression analyses showed that at admission, Asian and African American stroke patients were associated with reduced cognitive and motor functioning compared to non-Asian/non-Black stroke patients (β’s ranged from = −0.020 to −0.032 for both groups; all p’s
