Whether this translates into improved emergency medical services EMS activation remains unclear. Five FAST campaigns were held over this period median duration: 53 days.
Calls for acute headaches served as controls. Tsakpounidou 1 , J. Klinke 3 , C. Webb 4 , S. Martins 5 , H. Proios 1. This work introduces the global implementation of FAST Heroes, a school-based stroke educational campaign for year-old children and their extended family. Outcomes were measured before implementation t1 , after implementation t2 , and at six-month follow-up t3. Parents were divided into 2 groups, as starting dates of differed in each country.
Altogether, the educational messages were successfully passed onward. Parents and teachers worldwide believe that the program is feasible and worthwhile. Future large-scale studies across more countries can enhance our understanding and continue to raise awareness for educating young children about stroke symptoms.

We aimed to compare prehospital assessment by paramedics with in-hospital NIHSS assessment by physicians. Patients with transient ischemic attack were excluded from these analyses. Paramedics used a mobile app to score clinical items from prehospital stroke scales. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each prehospital item with its corresponding NIHSS item as a reference normal vs. Arm and leg motor function correlated strongly with their corresponding NIHSS items, with high sensitivity, but moderately-low specificity Table1.
