Accuracy of Published Screening Tools for Large Vessel Occlusion in Patients With Suspected Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study
This study provides valuable insights into the accuracy of various large vessel occlusion screening tools for patients in our ED setting with FAST-ED, Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation Scale, and Los Angeles Motor Scale showing the highest levels of accuracy. These findings will contribute to the development of evidence-based care pathways for improving stroke diagnosis and management.
