Patterns of ischemic stroke mortality have varied over the last 2 decades in the United States, according to study findings published in PLOS One.

Researchers studied the trends in location of ischemic stroke deaths to improve end-of-life care and address health care inequities.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (CDC WONDER) database was used to examine trends in ischemic stroke mortality between 1999 and 2020.
