Higher ABCD2 score predicts patients most likely to have true transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some patients diagnosed with transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the emergency department may actually have alternative diagnoses such as seizure, migraine, or other nonvascular spells. The ABCD2 score has been shown to predict subsequent risk of stroke in patients with TIA diagnosed by emergency physicians, but perhaps high ABCD2 scores simply separate those patients with...
متن کاملABCD Score Predicts Severity Rather Than Risk of Early Recurrent Events After Transient Ischemic Attack
Background and Purpose—The ABCD score predicts the early risk of stroke after transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, data on the severity of recurrent events would also be useful. Do patients with high scores also have more severe early recurrent strokes, perhaps further justifying hospital admission? Do patients with low scores have a low early risk of recurrent TIA as well as recurrent str...
متن کاملDoes ABCD Score Below 4 Allow More Time to Evaluate Patients With a Transient Ischemic Attack?
Background and Purpose—The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends that patients with a transient ischemic attack and ABCD score 4 and those with 2 transient ischemic attacks within 1 week be admitted for urgent complete etiologic evaluation within 24 hours and that those with an ABCD score 4 be evaluated less urgently within 1 week. Methods—Using data from 1176 patients wi...
متن کاملIs the ABCD score useful for risk stratification of patients with acute transient ischemic attack?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A 6-point scoring system (ABCD) was described recently for stratifying risk after transient ischemic attack (TIA). This score incorporates age (A), blood pressure (B), clinical features (C), and duration (D) of TIA. A score <4 reportedly indicates minimal short-term stroke risk. We evaluated this scoring system in an independent population. METHODS This was a prospectiv...
متن کاملdifferentiation of true transient ischemic attack versus transient ischemic attack mimics.
background: previous literatures have shown a transient ischemic attack (tia) mimic rate of 9-31%. we aimed to ascertain the proportion of stroke mimics amongst suspected tia patients. methods: a prospective observational study was performed in ghaem hospital, mashhad, iran during 2012-2013. consecutive tia patients were identified in a stroke center. the initial diagnosis of ...
