Acknowledgements

The authors are grateful to Robert Silbergleit, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Michigan, MI, USA, for providing the individual participant data set of RAMPART.

Patient and public involvement

The Plain English summary was shared with the Health Services Research Unit (HSRU) Public Partnership Group at the University of Aberdeen, which consists of 11 patient and public involvement partners (seven men, four women; three working age, eight retired). Communication with the Public Partnership Group was facilitated by the HSRU patient and public involvement co-ordinator. The Group consists of members of the public, who meet regularly to discuss aspects of HSRU research and provide a public perspective. Six members of the group provided comments on the language and general meaning of the summary.
