The investigators have developed a simple prehospital stroke scale (FPSS), containing 5 dichotomized items to recognize both large and small artery thrombi of the brain. FPSS is implemented to both emergency medical services and later, to emergency response centers. The efficacy of the scale and possible improvement of both the patient flow and treatment results will be evaluated.

Primary | Accuracy | Accuracy of Finnish Prehospital Stroke Scale used in prehospital settingto detect a large vessel occlusion Finnish Prehospital Stroke Scale (FPSS) includes the following items: Facial droop 0-1, Weakness of one or more extremities 0-1, Difficulty of understand or produce speech, including slurring 0-1, Field cut of visus or blindness 0-1, Partial or fixed gaze or head deviation away from the paretic side 0 or 4. Total points 1-4 predicts non-LVO, = 5 predicts LVO 0-8 (non-LVO= small or medium-sized vessel occlusion; iv-thrombolysis candidate; LVO= large vessel occlusion; endovascular treatment candidate) |
