Objective:

To estimate public acceptance of emergency research without prospective consent (ERWPC) for hyperacute ischemic stroke and identify factors influencing this acceptance compared to willingness to participate in standard randomized clinical trials (RCT) requiring informed consent.

Key Findings:
  • Public acceptance of ERWPC for hyperacute ischemic stroke remains unclear based on survey results.
  • Factors influencing acceptance include decision styles and decision-value orientations as identified in the survey.
  • Cultural expectations regarding family involvement in medical decision-making may affect evaluations of ERWPC.
Interpretation:

The study aims to provide empirical insights into public attitudes toward ERWPC in Japan.

Limitations:
  • The study is limited to a specific cultural context (Japan) and may not generalize to other countries.
  • The reliance on self-reported data may introduce bias.
Conclusion:

The findings will contribute to discussions about emergency research ethics in contexts without established ERWPC frameworks.
