Background:

Early stroke diagnosis is critical for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes.
Strokes occurring in hospitalized individuals often lead to more severe consequences than community-acquired strokes.

Purpose of the Study:

To derive and validate an algorithm for identifying acute stroke in hospitalized patients using upper limb movement monitoring.
To assess the algorithm's performance in terms of detection time and false alarm rates.

Main Methods:

A prospective case-control study involving bilateral arm accelerometry in hospitalized patients.
Algorithm derivation using 123 controls and 77 acute stroke cases, followed by validation in a separate cohort.
Evaluation of false alarm rates in non-stroke controls and time to detection in stroke cases.

Main Results:

The algorithm demonstrated a trade-off between detection speed and false alarms.
A median false alarm rate of 1.1 alarms/patient/day correlated with a median stroke detection time of 29 minutes.
Algorithm performance was consistent across various demographic and clinical subgroups.

Conclusions:

Accelerometry-based arm movement analysis can effectively detect stroke-indicative asymmetry in hospitalized patients.
The developed algorithm shows potential for early stroke detection with a manageable false alarm rate.
Further research is necessary to establish the clinical utility of this technology.
