Significance was set at P<0.05 using McNemar's tests. Neurological surgery procedure refers to craniotomy, endovascular coiling, or Burr hole trephination. Matched pairs: patients were matched using a multivariable propensity score. Separate propensity scores matches were performed for the NHW vs NHB and NHW vs Hispanic comparisons. NHB indicates non‐Hispanic Black; NHW, non‐Hispanic White; and tPA, tissue plasminogen activator.
