First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study looked at whether emergency doctors can accurately predict a stroke by talking only to people who saw the symptoms happen, without examining the patient. Researchers interviewed 235 witnesses (family, friends, or bystanders) and compared their reports to brain scans. The goal was to see if this method could help reduce delays in getting stroke patients to the hospital.
