Study results presented today by Dr Kiruba Nagaratnam, Clinical Lead for Stroke Medicine at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, where e-Stroke was first implemented in March 2020 to facilitate faster diagnosis and decision making, indicated a significant reduction in overall door-in-door-out time, from 140 minutes down to 79 minutes, an improvement of over 1 hour.
More significantly, the study also found that more patients achieved functional independence (defined as mRS 0-2) following the adoption of e-Stroke, jumping from 16% to 48% of patients.
