A C Omparison of E Mergency M Edical S Ervices T Imes for S Troke and M Yocardial I Nfarction

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Observational. Population: Stroke and Myocardial Infarction (n=105). Intervention: Stroke diagnosis / chief complaint vs. Myocardial infarction diagnosis / chief complaint. Primary outcome: Mean total EMS call time from dispatch to hospital arrival (minutes) (p=0.22).

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Emergency medical services transport and response times from dispatch to hospital arrival do not meaningfully differ between stroke and myocardial infarction patients. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.NOVEL_FINDING. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

PICO

P

Population

105 patients with a hospital discharge diagnosis of stroke (n=50) or myocardial infarction (n=55), plus 457 patients identified by dispatch chief complaint, transported by a county-based EMS system to a single hospital in 1999.

E

Exposure / Comparator

Stroke diagnosis / chief complaint vs Myocardial infarction diagnosis / chief complaint

O

Primary Outcome

Mean total EMS call time from dispatch to hospital arrival (minutes), p=0.22

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 41.5% vs 46.4%

p-value: p=0.22

Limitations

Conducted in a single county and single hospital setting, requiring replication in other EMS settings
Retrospective data collection from 911 center trip sheets
