Description
Helge Bugge and co-authors check how well paramedics' stroke scores match doctors' scores in real calls. Their 2026 report draws on a trial in Oslo that taught paramedics to use the standard stroke scale in the field, with a digital aid. Patients were kept if both a field score and a hospital score were on record. Gaps were judged on a set scale where the top three grades count as fine.
More than four hundred patients were counted, with a mean gap under one point between the two scores. Broad split scores, such as mild versus worse, matched very well. Item scores matched best for awareness, face droop, and limb strength, and least for balance and speech faults. Time gaps did not sway the match.
