Early identification of stroke symptoms and risk factors using the BE FAST method: benefits of early intervention in high-risk populations
The use of the BE FAST method significantly improves early stroke recognition, facilitates timely intervention, and is associated with better clinical outcomes in high-risk populations. Widespread implementation of this tool in both pre-hospital and clinical settings may enhance stroke care pathways and reduce disability and mortality.
