BEFAST for Stroke Screening - Oren Zarif - Befast


While BEFAST and FAST have similar diagnostic qualities, BEFAST has a higher sensitivity and specificity. This means it might be able to detect AIS faster. It remains unclear whether the test can be used for stroke screening in all patients. Further studies are needed to determine if these tests are useful in determining the underlying causes of stroke. Also, it is unclear if BEFAST's sensitivity and specificity are measurable separately for the posterior and anterior circulation.

To perform this study, two authors independently extracted baseline data for each database. First author's name, year of publication, and title of the study were extracted. Then, 201 studies were read in full. Of these, 201 were excluded because the articles were either reviews or meta-analyses. Another 12 studies were removed because they were incomplete or had no related titles. The remaining nine papers were extracted based on their corresponding data. This is the first evaluation of the efficacy of the BEFAST algorithm.
