Comparison of eight prehospital stroke scales to detect intracranial large-vessel occlusion in suspected stroke (PRESTO): a prospective observational study

Martijne H. C. Duvekot et al.

Summary: Prehospital stroke scales, such as RACE, G-FAST, and CG-FAST, have acceptable-to-good accuracy in detecting aLVO. Further studies are needed to explore the potential of using these scales in regional transportation strategies to optimize outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke.

Treatment and Outcome in Stroke Patients With Acute M2 Occlusion and Minor Neurological Deficits

Tomas Dobrocky et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with endovascular therapy (EVT) (+/- IVT) and IVT with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with peripheral middle cerebral artery occlusions and minor neurological deficits. The results showed similar effectiveness between IVT and EVT, as well as IVT and MT, in these patients, with a potential benefit of EVT in those treated after 2015.

D-Dimer as Predictor of Large Vessel Occlusion in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Anna Ramos-Pachon et al.

Summary: Through studying acute ischemic stroke patients, early D-dimer levels were identified as an independent predictor of LVO, which may help optimize prehospital patient transport to the appropriate stroke center.

Ultraearly thrombolysis by an anesthesiologist in a mobile stroke unit: A prospective, controlled intervention study

Karianne Larsen et al.

Summary: This study found that integrating thrombolysis of acute ischemic stroke in an anesthesiologist-based EMS can reduce time-to-treatment and is safe. Mobile stroke units enable prehospital assessment of acute strokes as well as other medical and traumatic emergencies.

Prehospital Identification of Large Vessel Occlusions Using Modified National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: A Pilot Study

William D. Mulkerin et al.

Summary: In this prospective study conducted over a 20-month period, the agreement between prehospital and hospital mNIHSS assessments was found to be reasonable, with mNIHSS >= 8 showing moderate sensitivity in predicting large vessel occlusions.
