The aim of this study is to develop and validate a simple prehospital stroke scale, which
would predict the presence of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients with acute stroke.
This study prospectively evaluates the predictive value of a new simple pre-hospital scale
(FAST PLUS test) for the presence of large vessel occlusion in anterior intracranial
circulation. The FAST PLUS test consists of two parts: the first is the well-known FAST test,
which is employed in all possible cases of stroke occurrence. This test consists of the
following items: Speech (scored 0-1), Facial palsy (0-1), any failure of Arm motor function
(0-1), and Time (0-1). The second part of FAST PLUS test evaluates only the presence of
severe arm or leg motor deficit (scored 0-1) and unilateral occurrence of its motor function
deficit (scored 0-1).
The FAST PLUS test will be used prospectively at the place of stroke onset by trained medical
emergency technicians. The first objective of study is to evaluate the sensitivity,
specificity, and the positive and negative predictive value of the test which relate to the
presence of occlusion of intracranial artery (intracranial carotid artery, T occlusion and
occlusion of Middle Cerebral artery segment M1 and M2). CT angiography can only diagnose the
LVO.
The second objective of this study is to assess inter-rater variability among stroke
specialists and emergency technicians, concerning the presence of severe motor arm or leg
deficit.
The third objective : After implementation of the FAST TEST to clinical practice, we aim to
achieve the acceleration of transport time in FAST PLUS positive patients via direct
transport to Comprehensive Stroke Center to mechanical thrombectomy.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Time to hospital | The time from the arriving of emergency service on site of stroke to door of hospital (comprehensive stroke center) after implementation of FAST PLUS test to the daily medical practice. We compare the time before and after the implementation of FAST PLUS test to daily clinical practice. | 21 months | |
Primary | Sensitivity, specificity, positive, negative predictive value and accuracy | Sensitivity, specificity, positive, negative predictive value of the test and overall accuracy with the presence of large vessel occlusion will be assessed. The presence of LVO will be diagnosed by CT Angiography only as soon as the patient enters the hospital. | 21 months | |
Secondary | Inter-rater variability | Inter-rater variability between emergency technicians and stroke specialist in stroke severity (hemiparesis) assessment. | 21 months |
