| Abstract | Background and aim Early diagnosis and treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is thought to be critical for improving outcomes. We examined whether racial or ethnic disparities exist in acute care processes in the first hours after ICH. Methods We performed a retrospective review of a prospectively collected cohort of consecutive patients with spontaneous primary ICH presenting to a single urban tertiary care center. Acute care processes studied included time to computerized tomography (CT) scan, time from CT to inpatient bed request, and time from bed request to hospital admission. Clinical outcomes included mortality, Glasgow Outcome Scale, and modified Rankin Scale. Results Four hundred fifty-nine patients presented with ICH between 2006 and 2018 and met inclusion criteria (55% male; 75% non-Hispanic White [NHW]; mean age of 73). In minutes, median time to CT was 43 (interquartile range [IQR] 28, 83), time to bed request was 62 (IQR 33, 114), and time to admission was 142 (IQR 95, 232). In a multivariable analysis controlling for demographic factors, clinical factors, and disease severity, race/ethnicity had no effect on acute care processes. English language, however, was independently associated with slower times to CT (β = 30.7 min, 95% CI 9.9 to 51.4, p = 0.004) and to bed request (β = 32.8 min, 95% CI 5.5 to 60.0, p = 0.02). Race/ethnicity and English language were not independently associated with worse outcome. Conclusions We found no evidence of racial/ethnic disparities in acute care processes or outcomes in ICH. English as first language, however, was associated with slower care processes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
