Triage assessments and the activation of rapid care protocols for acute stroke patients
TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined triage assessments of acute stroke patients and investigated factors associated with the instigation of rapid care protocols (allocation of triage category 1 or 2) for acute stroke patient presenting within 2h of symptom onset.About:

Prehospital stroke scales as screening tools for early identification of stroke and transient ischemic attack
TL;DR: The aim was to systematically identify and review the evidence pertaining to the test accuracy of validated stroke recognition scales, as used in a prehospital or emergency room (ER) setting to screen people suspected of having stroke.

Grimshaw,Richard P. Gerraty,N. Wah Cheung,Jeanette E Ward,Jeanette E Ward,Sandy Middleton +19 more
TL;DR: The TDF was successfully applied in all steps of developing an implementation intervention for the T3 Trial clinical intervention and the use of researcher panel opinion was an essential part of the BCT selection process to incorporate both research evidence and expert judgment.

Stroke Symptoms and the Decision to Call for an Ambulance
TL;DR: Factors associated with stroke recognition and factors associated with a call for ambulance assistance within 1 hour from symptom onset are determined among ambulance-transported stroke patients.

Diagnosis of ischemic stroke using circulating levels of brain-specific proteins measured via high-sensitivity digital ELISA.
Grant C. O’Connell,Megan L. Alder,Christine G. Smothers,Carolyn H Still,Allison R. Webel,Shirley M. Moore +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the increased sensitivity of digital ELISA could enable the use of brain-specific proteins as blood biomarkers of ischemic stroke during triage.
