: Undoubtedly, overlooking a stroke can result in severe disability or even death. However, identifying stroke patients in the prehospital setting poses a significant challenge. While the Face-Arm-Speech-Time (FAST) score is widely used, its effectiveness has been questioned because of its focus on symptoms primarily associated with anterior circulation strokes. In response to this limitation, we developed the innovative FAST4D score and conducted a comparative analysis of stroke detection rates between the novel FAST4D score and the FAST score.
