E-132 A retrospective analysis of stroke code specificity in predicting acute ischemic events

ConclusionsThis retrospective analysis of stroke codes at MGUH during a 6-month period was 29% specific in predicting AIS. This is significantly lower than what was found in previous studies. Of stroke mimics, TME was the major etiology encompassing 43.6% of cases. The results of our study suggest additional stroke education may be needed for non-neurologists and ancillary staff to appropriately recognize stroke symptoms to better improve the utilization of hospital resources and provide appropriate and efficient care.Disclosures A.
