Stroke knowledge and attitudes influence early hospital arrival in acute ischemic stroke: a multicenter cross-sectional survey from Hubei Province, China
Our findings highlight that greater stroke knowledge and positive attitudes significantly influence early hospital arrival in AIS patients. Sudden symptom onset, ambulance use, and shorter transfer distances also facilitate timely hospital arrival, whereas mild stroke contribute to delays. Thus, future stroke interventions should take these characteristics into account, which might ultimately help to promote earlier hospital arrival.
