Prehospital stroke triage: a modeling study on the impact of triage tools in different regions

CONCLUSIONS: In this modeling study, we showed that prehospital triage reduced time to EVT without disproportionate IVT delay, compared to a drip-and-ship strategy. The effect of triage strategies and the associated overtriage varied between regions. Implementation of prehospital triage should therefore be considered on a regional level.PMID:37219931 | DOI:10.1080/10903127.2023.2215859
