Overview

There are everal scales designed to help ambulance paramedics to identify a patient with a stroke and activate a stroke code. These scales were never tested in the field in a large unselected patient sample. We aim to perform an in-the field head tot head comparison of all published stroke scales designed to be used by ambulance paramedics

Description

this is a multicenter multiregional cohort study including about 3000 stroke code patients. In all patients an application will be filled out before hospital arrival including items that enable us to reconstruct all previously published stroke scales.

Data from the application will be related to in hospital data of the same patient. In order to do this we will use a trusted third party for data coupling.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients for whom a stroke code is activated

Exclusion Criteria:

< 18 years

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
