      abstract     = {We assessed best available data on access and delivery of
                      acute stroke unit (SU) care, intravenous thrombolysis (IVT)
                      and endovascular treatment (EVT) in the European region in
                      2019 and 2020.We compared national data per number of
                      inhabitants and per 100 annual incident first-ever ischaemic
                      strokes (AIIS) in 46 countries. Population estimates and
                      ischaemic stroke incidence were based on United Nations data
                      and the Global Burden of Disease Report 2019,
                      respectively.The estimated mean number of acute SUs in 2019
                      was 3.68 $(95\%$ CI: 2.90-4.45) per one million inhabitants
                      (MIH) with 7/44 countries having less than one SU per one
                      MIH. The estimated mean annual number of IVTs was 21.03
                      $(95\%$ CI: 15.63-26.43) per 100,000 and $17.14\%$ $(95\%$
                      CI: 12.98-21.30) of the AIIS in 2019, with highest country
                      rates at 79.19 and $52.66\%,$ respectively, and 15 countries
                      delivering less than 10 IVT per 100,000. The estimated mean
                      annual number of EVTs in 2019 was 7.87 $(95\%$ CI:
                      5.96-9.77) per 100,000 and $6.91\%$ $(95\%$ CI: 5.15-8.67)
                      of AIIS, with 11 countries delivering less than 1.5 EVT per
                      100,000. Rates of SUs, IVT and EVT were stable in 2020.
                      There was an increase in mean rates of SUs, IVT and EVT
                      compared to similar data from 2016.Although there was an
                      increase in reperfusion treatment rates in many countries
                      between 2016 and 2019, this was halted in 2020. There are
                      persistent major inequalities in acute stroke treatment in
                      the European region. Tailored strategies directed to the
                      most vulnerable regions should be prioritised.},
