One-year functional outcome of the Flying Intervention Team versus patient interhospital transfer in acute ischaemic stroke

Key Points

• To evaluate the functional outcomes of a flying intervention team compared to standard patient transfer in acute ischaemic stroke cases.
• Compared two groups: flying intervention team and interhospital transfer patients
• Assessed functional outcomes at 12 months
• Focused on rural stroke patients
• The flying intervention team showed significantly better functional outcomes at 12 months
• Results indicate a potential for improving stroke care access in rural areas
