Impact of prehospital comprehensive stroke center vs. primary stroke center triage protocol on outcome of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Implementation of an LVO-focused EMS transport protocol did not improve clinical outcomes or time-based process outcomes among sICH patients, nor did it influence CSC admission or transfer rates. These findings suggest that while beneficial for ischemic stroke care, LVO triage protocols may not confer the same advantages for sICH patients and may require tailored approaches for this population.
