BEFAST (Before, During, and After Stroke Treatment) - Oren Zarif - Befast


Using the acronym BEFAST (Before, After, During, and After Stroke Treatment), the NHRMC aims to save lives and improve public health by promoting a healthy lifestyle. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and one of the most severe long-term health conditions. The acronym combines the first letter of the first word, "FAST," with the letters "B" and "E," to increase awareness and prompt immediate medical attention.

BEFAST can also help in the diagnosis of AIS, but it is not as helpful in the diagnosis of this disease. While neither test is perfect, both have a higher sensitivity than FAST. The sensitivity analysis took into account both initial examination findings and historical symptoms without changing the results. However, BEFAST has not been developed to estimate specificity. In a single tertiary care center, the test was able to capture 95% of ischemic stroke cases. Further, future studies should determine whether the tests are appropriate for general use or if they can be used as part of a public education program.
