Numerical Cincinnati Stroke Scale Versus Stroke Severity Screening Tools for the Prehospital Determination of Large Vessel Occlusion
The less complex CPSS exhibited comparable performance to three frequently employed LVO detection tools. The EMS leadership, medical directors, and stroke system directors should weigh the complexity of stroke severity instruments and the challenges of ensuring consistent and accurate use when choosing which tool to implement. The straightforward and widely adopted CPSS may improve compliance while maintaining accuracy in LVO detection.
