Comprehensive Stroke Units (SU) are the gold-standard organizational model for acute stroke care; however, only a fraction of patients have direct access to an SU, particularly those not eligible for mechanical thrombectomy who are admitted to regional or district hospitals without on-site SU capacity.\n\nThe Virtual Stroke Unit (VSU) concept extends specialized stroke care to non-SU hospitals by combining standardized in-hospital monitoring boxes with synchronous remote multidisciplinary assessment by a stroke neurologist and stroke nurse from a reference center, via the regional telemedicine platform (CATI).\n\nThis prospective, multicenter, non-inferiority cohort study compares effectiveness, safety, and feasibility of VSU care versus conventional SU care in patients with acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke who are not candidates for mechanical thrombectomy. Recruitment targets 363 patients per arm (726 total). The primary outcome is death or dependency at 3 months (modified Rankin Scale 3-6) - the canonical measure of stroke-unit effectiveness - with functional independence (mRS 0-2), adherence to the stroke-unit care quality bundle, safety, mortality, recurrence, length of stay, satisfaction (TUQ\u002FTSQ\u002FTMPQ) and cost-effectiveness as secondary outcomes.",[65,66,67],"Stroke","Stroke Hemorrhagic","Ischemic Stroke",[69,70,71,72,73,74,75],"Virtual Stroke Unit","Telemedicine","Telestroke","Stroke Unit","Healthcare delivery system","Non-inferiority","Modified Rankin Scale","2026-06-16",{"date":78,"type":79},"2026-06-18","ACTUAL",{"date":81,"type":79},"2026-04-01",{"date":83,"type":61},"2028-03-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
