In contrast to major stroke, sensitivity of the FAST test is limited to around 65% for TIA and minor stroke in a population-based setting. Sensitivity increases by incorporating visual symptoms and vertigo, but this comes with a large number of false positives. Findings of this study may favor a focus on the importance of isolated or transient symptoms, rather than additional symptoms, in future stroke public education campaigns
