متن کاملPotential and failure of the ABCD2 score in stroke risk prediction after transient ischemic attack.
See related articles, pages 844–850 and 851–856. Patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a heterogeneous group in terms of risk factors, symptomatology, underlying disorders, and prognosis.1 The importance of recognizing this common condition lies in the high risk of early stroke that TIAs carry (3.1% at 2 days, 5.2% at 7 days, 8.0% at 30 days, and 9.2% at 90 days).2,3 Recent eviden...
متن کاملDoes ABCD2 score below 4 allow more time to evaluate patients with a transient ischemic attack?

METHODS Using data from ...
متن کاملABCD2 score predicts severity rather than risk of early recurrent events after transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The ABCD(2) 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 ...
