Application value of two stroke screening scales in pre-hospital emergency screening for stroke
Objective To explore the application value of two stroke screening scales in pre-hospital emergency screening for stroke.Methods 202 suspected stroke patients through the emergency stroke green-channel were divided into a study group and a control group according to different stroke screening scales selected in pre-hospital emergency,each with 101 cases.The control group was evaluated by Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale(CPSS),and the study group was evaluated by modifeid Los Angeles Prehospital Stroke Screen Scale(MLAPSS).With the opinion of neurologist and imaging examination after admission as the final diagnosis results,the scale screening diagnosis time and the time from calling for help to treatment,diagnostic results and diagnostic efficacy of different screening scales of the two groups were compared.Results After all patients were admitted to the hospital by prehospital emergency care,with reference to the diagnostic results of doctors and imaging tests,it was found that there were 67 stroke patients and 34 non-stroke patients in the control group,while there were 72 stroke patients and 29 non-stroke patients in the study group.The scale screening diagnosis time and the time from calling for help to treatment of the research group were a little longer than those of the control group,but there was no statistical significance(P>0.05).A total of 58 stroke patients and 43 non-stroke patients were screened by CPSS.A total of 69 stroke patients and 32 non-stroke patients were screened by MLAPSS.The accuracy of MLAPSS was 87.13%and the sensitivity was 88.89%,which were higher than 75.25%and 74.63%of CPSS;and the missed diagnosis rate of MLAPSS was 11.11%,which was lower than 25.37%of CPSS.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistical significance in the specificity and misdiagnosis rate between the two screening scales(P>0.05).Conclusion Both CPSS and MLAPSS have high clinical value in screening stroke diseases in pre-hospital emergency care.Compared with the two screening scales,MLAPSS has higher screening value for stroke diseases and is worth promoting.
