In contrast to earlier studies showing a decline in stroke prevalence and mortality, a new study found that the rates are going up and more people, particularly Black Americans, are either dying at home or arriving to the hospital dead on arrival. Experts speculate that the trend may be driven by the lack of access to hospice services and care, in general.
