Barriers from calling ambulance after recognizing stroke differed in adults younger or older than 75?years old in China.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:As health behavior varies with increasing age, we aimed to examine the potential barriers in calling emergency medical services (EMS) after recognizing a stroke among 40-74- and 75-99-year-old adults. METHODS:Data were obtained from a cross-sectional community-based study (FAST-RIGHT) that was conducted from January 2017 to May 2017 and involved adults (age???40?years) across 69 administrative areas in China. A subgroup of residents (153675) who recognized stroke symptoms was analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed in the 40-74 and 75-99 age groups, separately, to determine the factors associated with wait-and-see behaviors at the onset of a stroke. RESULTS:In the 40-74 and 75-99 age groups, the rates of participants who chose "Self-observation at home" were 3.0% (3912) and 3.5% (738), respectively; the rates of "Wait for family, then go to hospital" were 31.7% (42071) and 33.1% (6957), respectively.
