Validation of a score in the prehospital setting for detecting intracranial lesions in unconscious patients

Alison Parker

Prehospital recognition of stroke and other intracranial disorders allows for faster recanalization and other specialized therapy. In patients with a low degree of consciousness, recognizing these can be challenging. To identify patients with intracranial disease, we previously developed a scoring system that combined systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. The goal of this study was to confirm the score in a bigger, distinct group. Materials and procedures: We performed a registry-based retrospective analysis on 16-year-old patients with a Glasgow Coma Score of 15 who were treated by helicopter emergency medical services. Patients' diagnoses at the end of their hospital stay were utilised to determine whether or not they had an intracranial lesion. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to measure the performance of the score (AUROC)
