Abstract:Background:
Mobile stroke units (MSU) have reduced time to thrombolysis, improved outcomes in ischemic stroke, but their sustainability and external costs have not been thoroughly evaluated. Fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide (CO
2
) and air pollution, which contribute to global climate crisis and excess mortality.
Aim:
To estimate the mortality cost of MSU due to increment of CO
2
and air pollution from fuel burned… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
