Our study found that presence of Prehospital stroke severity scale (PSSS) documentation in the field was associated shorter DTP after eliminating potential confounders, even though the presence of PSSS did not routinely alter the Neuro-endovascular workflow . .

If the patient screens positive on the stroke screening tool, EMS personnel are encouraged to administer a prehospital stroke severity scale (PSSS). In our region the recommended PSSS is a modified RACE (mRACE) score (modified to score both Aphasia and Agnosia) or NIHSS
