Teleneurology vs On-Site Neurology Consultation for Postadmission Hospital Care of Stroke

Are telestroke ward rounds during subacute inpatient stroke care noninferior to conventional on-site ward rounds?In this noninferiority study that included 501 patients, telestroke ward rounds were rated as guideline adherent in 92% vs 52% for the on-site ward rounds, suggesting not only noninferiority but also superiority.These findings support the integration of telemedicine into routine inpatient stroke care, particularly in regions with limited access to neurological expertise.
