| contents | Objective. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke presents a major challenge in clinical practice due to the potential for poor outcomes with delayed treatment. Treatment for LVO involves highly specialized care, in particular endovascular thrombectomy, and is available only at certain hospitals. Therefore, prehospital identification of LVO by emergency ambulance services, can be critical for triaging LVO stroke patients directly to a hospital with access to endovascular therapy. Clinical scores exist to help distinguish LVO from less severe strokes, but they are based on a series of examinations that can take minutes and may be impractical for patients with dementia or those who cannot follow commands due to their stroke. There is a need for a fast and reliable method to aid in the early identification of LVO. In this study, our objective was to assess the feasibility of using 30-second photoplethysmography (PPG) recording to assist in recognizing LVO stroke. Method. A total of 88 patients, including 25 with LVO, 27 with stroke mimic (SM), and 36 non-LVO stroke patients (NL), were recorded at the Liverpool Hospital emergency department in Sydney, Australia. Demographics (age, sex), as well as morphological features and beating rate variability measures, were extracted from the PPG. A binary classification approach was employed to differentiate between LVO stroke and NL+SM (NL.SM). A 2:1 train-test split was stratified and repeated randomly across 100 iterations. Results. The best model achieved a median test set area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.77 (0.71--0.82). \textit{Conclusion.} Our study demonstrates the potential of utilizing a 30-second PPG recording for identifying LVO stroke. |
