Data_Sheet_1_ELECTRA-STROKE: Electroencephalography controlled triage in the ambulance for acute ischemic stroke—Study protocol for a diagnostic trial.PDF
BackgroundEndovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard treatment for large vessel occlusion stroke of the anterior circulation (LVO-a stroke). Approximately half of EVT-eligible patients are initially presented to hospitals that do not offer EVT. Subsequent inter-hospital transfer delays treatment, which negatively affects patients' prognosis. Prehospital identification of patients with LVO-a stroke would allow direct transportation of these patients to an EVT-capable center. Electroencephalography (EEG) may be suitable for this purpose because of its sensitivity to cerebral ischemia. The hypothesis of ELECTRA-STROKE is that dry electrode EEG is feasible for prehospital detection of LVO-a stroke.MethodsELECTRA-STROKE is an investigator-initiated, diagnostic study. EEG recordings will be performed in patients with a suspected stroke in the ambulance. The primary endpoint is the diagnostic accuracy of the theta/alpha ratio for the diagnosis of LVO-a stroke, expressed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. EEG recordings will be performed in 386 patients.DiscussionIf EEG can be used to identify LVO-a stroke patients with sufficiently high diagnostic accuracy, it may enable direct routing of these patients to an EVT-capable center, thereby reducing time-to-treatment and improving patient outcomes.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03699397.</p
