Description
Faster stroke triage before hospital arrival saves brain tissue, but new triage tools raise cost and rollout questions. Alexandrov and co-authors review that evidence in a 2026 conference report. Their search covered five databases for studies from 1995 to 2025 on ambulance-based triage tools for suspected stroke.
Eligible studies had to report costs against benefits or system-level rollout factors. Results are summed in narrative form, and reporting quality was checked with a standard form. The review finds that proof on value for money and on rollout hurdles is still thin. Planners get a clear picture of what is known and what trials must still measure before wide adoption.
