Mobile Stroke Unit Management in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Eligible for Intravenous Thrombolysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Clinical trials have suggested that prehospital management in a mobile stroke unit (MSU) improves functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are potentially eligible for intravenous thrombolysis, but there is a paucity of real-world evidence from routine clinical practice on this topic.

Objective

To determine the association between prehospital management in an MSU vs standard emergency medical services (EMS) management and the level of global disability at hospital discharge.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a retrospective, observational, cohort study that included consecutive patients with a final diagnosis of ischemic stroke who received either prehospital management in an MSU or standard EMS management between August 1, 20
