Key Points

  • To evaluate the functional outcomes of a flying intervention team compared to standard patient transfer in acute ischaemic stroke cases.
  • Compared two groups: flying intervention team and interhospital transfer patients
  • Assessed functional outcomes at 12 months
  • Focused on rural stroke patients
  • The flying intervention team showed significantly better functional outcomes at 12 months
  • Results indicate a potential for improving stroke care access in rural areas

Abstract

In rural stroke patients, deployment of a flying team was associated with better functional outcomes at 12 months. These findings reinforce the potential for broader implementation of the model to increase equitable access to stroke care.
