- Well, I think the two main findings from this study are that in the age of 65 to 74, there was more severe strokes in Blacks and Hispanics. However, they also were more likely to be discharged to nursing facilities rather than being discharged home. Of course, in a single-center study like this, you have to be very cautious about interpreting these results. It could be that they were discharged to nursing facilities because they were widowed or lived alone and didn't have any support at home. So things like social support become incredibly important for stroke survivors and for their quality of life after their stroke.
