DWI lesions and TIA etiology improve the prediction of stroke after TIA.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The ABCD(2) score has been shown to predict the early risk of stroke after transient ischemic attack (TIA). The additional predictive value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and TIA etiology is not well known. METHODS From January 2003 to June 2007, 343 consecutive patients (mean+/-SD age, 62.4+/-15.4 years) with TIA were admitted to our stroke unit. Most (339) patien...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An easily administered questionnaire and algorithm classifying transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or strokes, and also their distribution, could be invaluable for identifying endpoints in epidemiologic studies or clinical trials of prevention and therapy of cerebral ischemia. The Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study (ACAS) devised a symptom-based questionnaire and al...
متن کاملDWI reversal is associated with small infarct volume in patients with TIA and minor stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE More than half of patients with TIA/minor stroke have ischemic lesions on early DWI, which represent irreversibly damaged tissue. The presence and volume of DWI lesions predict early deterioration in this population. We aimed to study the rate and implications of DWI reversal in patients with TIA/minor stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with TIA/minor stroke were pr...

متن کاملPredicting short-term risk of stroke after TIA.
Evidence Summary Five to 10 percent of patients presenting with TIA will have a stroke within the following week.1-3 Because guidelines do not mandate hospitalization for patients who have had a TIA or suspected TIA,4,5 validated clinical prediction rules may be used to identify patients who should definitely be hospitalized for expedited evaluation and patients for whom outpatient evaluation i...
