Direct to angiography suite approaches for the triage of suspected acute stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing evidence suggests improved time metrics leading to better clinical outcomes when stroke patients with suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) are transferred directly to the angiography suite (DTAS) compared with cross-sectional imaging followed by transfer to the angiography suite. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of DTAS approaches.

Methods

We searched Embase, Medline, Scopus, and clinicaltrials.gov for studies comparing outcomes of DTAS and conventional triage. Eligible studies were assessed for risk of bias. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis on the differences of median door-to-groin and door-to-reperfusion times between intervention and control group. Secondary outcomes included good outcome at
