A large number of stroke patients is treated by the Mainz-EMS during the first hours after the onset of symptoms. A combination of anamnestic and clinical variables included in the score prehospitally leads to the tentative diagnosis confirmed by CT-scan in the majority of cases. It should therefore be possible in the future to initiate specific therapy for stroke patients prehospitally.
