    • Paramedic Norwegian Acute Stroke Prehospital Project (ParaNASPP) study protocol: a stepped wedge randomised trial of stroke screening using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale in the ambulance 

      Bugge, Helge Fagerheim; Guterud, Mona; Bache, Kristi Cecilie Grønvold; Braarud, Anne-Cathrine; Eriksen, Erik; Fremstad, Kjell Otto; Ihle-Hansen, Hege; Ingebretsen, Svein Håkon; Kramer-Johansen, Jo; Larsen, Karianne; Røislien, Jo; Thorsen, Kjetil; Toft, Mathias; Sandset, Else Charlotte; Hov, Maren Ranhoff (Trials;23, Article number: 113 (2022), Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-04)
      Background: Less than 50% of stroke patients in Norway reach hospital within 4 h of symptom onset. Early prehospital identification of stroke and triage to the right level of care may result in more patients receiving acute ...
    • Pleiotropy with sex-specific traits reveals genetic aspects of sex differences in Parkinson's disease
