✓ Unanimous Initial: inpatient

✓ Unanimous Initial: inpatient Requery: inpatient — Patients are admitted to stroke centers (both primary and comprehensive) and remain at local stroke units for treatment, indicating they are hospitalized during the intervention period.

✓ Unanimous Initial: mixed Requery: inpatient — Patients are initially admitted to a primary stroke center for stroke care and intervention occurs in a hospital setting, indicating an inpatient status during the intervention.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: yes — The endovascular treatment (thrombectomy) inherently requires the use of specialized medical devices such as stent retrievers or catheters to physically remove the blood clot and restore blood flow.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: yes — The study involves physical medical devices used for endovascular treatment including angiography equipment and thrombectomy instruments, even though the main focus is on the delivery model via Flying Intervention Team.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: yes — The study involves a physical intervention device used for endovascular treatment, namely an angiography suite where procedures are performed by the Flying Intervention Team.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: no — While telemedicine is used to identify stroke patients and make treatment decisions, the primary intervention being studied is the physical deployment of a Flying Intervention Team via helicopter to perform endovascular treatment, not the digital technology itself. Thinking: no — The primary intervention is physical endovascular treatment delivered by a flying team; telemedicine is used only for candidate identification and decision support, not as the core delivery mechanism.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: yes — Telemedicine is central to identifying candidates for endovascular treatment. Thinking: no — The primary intervention is the physical deployment of a flying interventional team versus patient transfer, with telemedicine only supporting triage rather than being the main treatment modality.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: yes — The Flying Intervention Team is an organizational/logistical healthcare delivery model for deploying specialists, which does not fit the standard categories like pharmacologic, device, or chemo/immuno/radio.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: yes — The intervention is an organizational/logistical service delivery model using a helicopter transport system to bring medical teams to patients, rather than a clinical treatment or procedure itself.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: yes — The intervention involves a novel healthcare delivery model leveraging a Flying Intervention Team to perform endovascular treatment in rural stroke centers, which does not fit into the listed categories.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: no — The trial outcomes focus on time delays, procedural times, recanalization, and clinical complications (e.g., mortality, hemorrhage) without utilizing specific validated patient-reported symptom scales.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: no — This study focuses on procedural time delays, safety parameters, and clinical complications of stroke treatment but does not measure specific symptoms using validated symptom assessment instruments.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: no — The trial focuses on procedural outcomes and safety parameters related to endovascular treatment in stroke patients and does not assess symptoms using validated symptom instruments.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: no — The outcomes focus on time delays, safety, and clinical efficacy without including cost-effectiveness, healthcare utilization, or any cost framing.

✓ Unanimous Initial: no Requery: no — This study focuses on time delays, clinical safety parameters, and procedural outcomes, without measuring costs, resource utilization, or healthcare economics.

✓ Unanimous Initial: yes Requery: no — The trial focuses on time delay and safety parameters without cost-effectiveness or health economic evaluation.
