Details and patient eligibility

About

There are everal scales designed to help ambulance paramedics to identify a patient with a stroke and activate a stroke code. These scales were never tested in the field in a large unselected patient sample. We aim to perform an in-the field head tot head comparison of all published stroke scales designed to be used by ambulance paramedics

Full description

this is a multicenter multiregional cohort study including about 3000 stroke code patients. In all patients an application will be filled out before hospital arrival including items that enable us to reconstruct all previously published stroke scales.

Data from the application will be related to in hospital data of the same patient. In order to do this we will use a trusted third party for data coupling.
