Background and Purpose—Patients with acute ischemic stroke who have large vessel
occlusion benefit from direct transport to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) capable of …

Background Enhanced detection of large vessel occlusion (LVO) through machine learning
(ML) for acute ischemic stroke appears promising. This systematic review explored the …

Background and purpose Our aim was to revalidate the RACE scale, a prehospital tool that
aims to identify patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), after its region-wide …

Purpose Both intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and intra-arterial endovascular thrombectomy
(ET) improve the outcome of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, with endovascular …

Strokes are a time-dependent medical emergency. The training of emergency medical
service (EMS) professionals is essential to ensure the activation of stroke codes with pre …

Introduction Digital technology has enabled gamification methods to enhance triage
education, reflecting an evolving healthcare landscape. Objective To evaluate the …
