<jats:bold>Introduction:</jats:bold>
A detailed characterization of comorbidity prevalence among carotid artery disease patients has not been thoroughly explored in Asian, as well as Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) populations.

<jats:bold>Research Question:</jats:bold>
This study investigated the types of comorbidities and surgical procedures associated with carotid artery disease in Asian and NHPI populations.

<jats:bold>Methods:</jats:bold>
This retrospective study utilized data from a stroke treatment center in Hawaii between the years 2020-21. Patients were identified with ICD-10 codes for stroke and only those ≥18 years old with either a completed carotid artery Doppler ultrasound or carotid angiography were included in the study. Collected data included demographics, location of stroke, degree and location of carotid stenosis, comorbidities, and previous surgical history. Wilcoxon rank sum test and Fisher's exact test were used as appropriate.

<jats:bold>Results:</jats:bold>
Overall, 117 patients were included with 74 of identifiable race (45% NHPI, 32% Asian, and 23% White). The average age at the time of stroke was 69 years and 40.0% (47/117) of patients were female. Amongst all races, there were no differences in the greatest degree of carotid stenosis (p=.15) or location of stenosis along the right carotid artery (p=.16), but there was a difference in the location of left carotid stenosis (p=.04). Endocrine conditions were the only comorbidity identified at significantly different rates between all racial groups (p=.02). Prior cardiac (p=.03), otolaryngological (0=.007), and orthopedic (p=.01) procedures differed significantly by race among the cohort. The majority of these differences were present when comparing NHPI or Asian patients against White patients, with no significant differences found between Asian and NHPI patients.

<jats:bold>Conclusions:</jats:bold>
Asian and NHPI stroke patients were found to have significantly different rates of left carotid stenosis, endocrine conditions, and prior cardiac, otolaryngological, or orthopedic surgeries when compared to White patients. Due to these race-specific differences in patient demographics and history, the implementation and investigation of carotid artery disease risk assessments should be pursued to best improve stroke outcomes among all patients.
