The association between socioeconomic status and disability after stroke: findings from the Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke Longitudinal (AVAIL) registry.
The authors examined the association of three indicators of SES--educational attainment, working status, and perceived adequacy of household income--with disability 3-months following an acute ischemic stroke. They found that 58% of the Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke--Longitudinal study patients had a high school or less education, 61% were not working, and 27% perceived their household income as inadequate prior to their stroke. Thirty five percent of patients were disabled at 3-months. They concluded that, in this cohort of stroke survivors, socioeconomic status was associated with disability following acute ischemic stroke.

Sex differences in quality of life after ischemic stroke.
This study compared quality of life (QOL) in men and women at 3 and 12 months after stroke, and the change in QOL over time between men and women. It found that women have worse QOL than men up to 12 months after stroke, even after adjusting for important sociodemographic variables and stroke severity.
