Prehospital FAST-ED Score Item Agreement with Corresponding In-Hospital NIHSS Item Scores
We found a range of agreement for items of FAST-ED prehospital scores to corresponding items of in-hospital NIHSS, including only fair agreement for facial palsy and denial/neglect. Our findings suggest EMS clinicians may benefit from targeted education in assessing denial/neglect and facial palsy, as well as how to score the speech component in cases of isolated dysarthria.
