aSevere stroke is classified as a national institutes of health stroke score (NIHSS) >15 or intracerebral hemorrhage score >1.

bSocial determinants of health include difficulty paying for basics, social support network size, education level.

cStroke risk factors include pre-stroke smoking status, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, heart failure, coronary artery disease/prior myocardial infarction, and prior stroke.

dAcute care variables include discharge location, type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), modified rankin score.
