Geographic Disparities in Stroke Action Awareness in China: A National Survey

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geographic Disparities in Stroke Action Awareness in China. ABSTRACT Objective Stroke incidence and mortality are higher among adults in northern and western China, commonly referred to as the “Stroke Belt.” However, few studies have compared stroke action awareness between Stroke Belt and non–Stroke Belt regions at the national level. This study aimed

Regional deprivation and out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest outcomes: Moderated mediation by call‐to‐emergency department time and bystander resuscitation

Hong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Background To evaluate whether delayed emergency department (ED) arrival mediates the association between regional deprivation and outcomes after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and whether this mediation differs by bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
