Retrospective study shows training significantly improves stroke care metrics and outcomes in emergency settings, suggesting better practices.

This study examines the impact of simulation-based training on emergency staff and patient outcomes in acute stroke care.
Retrospective study using RES-Q registry data comparing patients from 2024 and 2025
Statistics included chi-square test and t-test for group comparisons
Comparative analysis of process metrics and clinical outcomes before and after training implementation
Shorter door-to-needle times in 2025 with a mean reduction of 21 minutes (67.65 vs 46.85 minutes, p = 0.005)
Higher proportion of patients receiving IV thrombolysis within 45 minutes in 2025 (63.8% vs 20%, p < 0.00001)
Lower discharge NIHSS scores in 2025 indicating better clinical outcomes (8.9 vs 3.3, p < 0.00001)

Gutu et al. (2026) studied this question.
