Effective treatment is time-sensitive, and an optimal outcome is more likely when treatment is administered within the first four and a half hours from stroke onset4,5. The gateway to ambulance transport and hospital admittance is through prehospital telehealth services, including emergency medical call centres, nurse advice call lines, and out-of-hours health services. In the prehospital setting, the use of mobile stroke units has made it possible to deliver advanced treatment faster6,7. As the mobile stroke unit is only dispatched to patients with a suspected stroke, the impact of the mobile stroke unit is directly influenced by accurate call-taker recognition of stroke6,7. Call-takers who can rapidly and accurately recognise stroke are therefore crucial in facilitating prompt care in both prehospital and in-hospital settings.  \nDespite initiatives to improve stroke recognition8,9, approximately half of all patients with stroke do not receive the correct triage for their condition from call-takers 10–12. Most initiatives aim to improve stroke recognition by call-takers via introducing more specific assessment tools8,9 or providing specialised training 13. Recent advances in machine learning technology might be applied to improve stroke recognition without requiring changes to the triaging approach, and machine learning-aided identification of stroke has been suggested as a means of improving mobile stroke unit effectiveness7. Real-time feedback from a machine learning model can improve the recognition of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest14, 15. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and assess the potential of machine learning in improving prehospital stroke recognition during medical helpline calls.  \nIn this study, we use call recordings and registry data from the Copenhagen Emergency Medical Services (CEMS) and the Danish Stroke Regis","cbCaiqaaIvm3rqgA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqaaIvm3rqgA","pdf",1635603,"English","# Introduction\n# Results\n## Population characteristics","[{\"question\":\"What was the study aiming to achieve?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to develop and assess whether machine learning can improve prehospital stroke recognition during medical helpline calls.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the machine learning models built from the call data?\",\"answer\":\"Calls were transcribed using an automatic speech recognition model, then classified with a text classification model trained as an ensemble of five individual models.\"},{\"question\":\"How was model performance evaluated against call-takers?\",\"answer\":\"The model was compared with call-takers using MH-1813 data from 2021, and test data without diagnostic category codes were also analyzed to assess potential bias.\"}]","A retrospective study on machine learning-assisted stroke recognition for medical helpline calls | PDF",23]
