The Prehospital Stroke Score and telephone conference: A prospective validation

Martin F. Gude et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the performance of a two-part stroke scale combined with a telephone conference. The results showed that the PreSS had high sensitivity and specificity in identifying stroke/TIA and large-vessel occlusion.

Pre-analytical stability of serum biomarkers for neurological disease: neurofilament-light, glial fibrillary acidic protein and contactin-1

Zoe Y. G. J. van Lierop et al.

Summary: The study found that most pre-analytical handling variations had little effect on NfL and CNTN1 levels, while GFAP showed good stability under all pre-analytical variables. For sample handling, it is recommended to store serum NfL at room temperature for up to 6 hours or at room temperature for up to 24 hours, and to perform a maximum of two freeze-thaw cycles for serum CNTN1.

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.

Comparison of Prehospital Scales for Predicting Large Anterior Vessel Occlusion in the Ambulance Setting

T. Truc My Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that all 7 prediction scales showed good accuracy, high specificity, and low sensitivity, with LAMS and RACE scoring the highest. Feasibility rates ranged from 78% to 88%, highlighting the importance of considering feasibility before implementing a scale.

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.

Ultra-Early Differential Diagnosis of Acute Cerebral Ischemia and Hemorrhagic Stroke by Measuring the Prehospital Release Rate of GFAP

Olli S. Mattila et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of plasma GFAP and total tau measurements in aiding the differentiation of acute cerebral ischemia and hemorrhagic stroke in the prehospital setting. Monitoring the GFAP release rate can improve early subtype differentiation in stroke patients, particularly in ruling out hemorrhagic stroke.

A Novel Combination of Blood Biomarkers and Clinical Stroke Scales Facilitates Detection of Large Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Strokes

Edoardo Gaude et al.

Summary: Combining blood biomarkers with stroke severity scales, particularly D-dimer and GFAP, can enhance the detection of acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusions. This combination increases the number of true positives and reduces false positives compared to using stroke scales alone. The accuracy of diagnosing LVO patients can be significantly improved with the use of these biomarkers in conjunction with stroke severity scales.

European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines on blood pressure management in acute ischaemic stroke and intracerebral haemorrhage

Else Charlotte Sandset et al.

Summary: The optimal blood pressure management in acute ischaemic stroke and acute intracerebral haemorrhage remains controversial, and the ESO guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations. Expert consensus statements provide additional guidance in cases where there is insufficient evidence to make recommendations.
