Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various clinical scales in detecting large vessel occlusion (LVO) in prehospital settings.
Assessment of existing prehospital stroke scales
Comparison of performance across different clinical environments
Evaluation of accuracy and generalizability of tools
Several scales showed strong performance in specific contexts
No single tool emerged as consistently effective for broad application
Identified a clear need for a simpler and more reliable detection tool

Abstract

Numerous clinical scales are available for detecting LVO in the prehospital setting. While several demonstrate strong performance in specific contexts, there remains a clear need for a simple, accurate, and generalizable tool to reliably identify patients with LVO across diverse clinical environments.
