Can the ABCD2 risk score predict positive diagnostic testing for emergency department patients admitted for transient ischemic attack?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to determine if the ABCD2 score, typically used for risk stratification, could predict having a positive diagnostic test in patients evaluated acutely for transient ischemic attack. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study for patients admitted from our emergency department with a new diagnosis of transient ischemic attack confirmed by a neurologist. ...
متن کاملDoes ABCD2 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(2) score > or =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(2) score <4 be evaluated less urgently within 1 week. METHODS Using data from ...
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 کاملPatients with transient ischemic attack with ABCD2 <4 can have similar 90-day stroke risk as patients with transient ischemic attack with ABCD2 ≥4.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unclear whether patients with transient ischemic attack with an ABCD(2) score <4 can be safely evaluated within the following week as recommended by some national guidelines rather than in emergency. METHODS A total of 1679 patients in the SOS-TIA prospective cohort had a definite or possible transient ischemic attack and had complete information on ABCD(2) score ...
متن کاملCan ABCD2 score predict the need for in-hospital intervention in patients with transient ischemic attacks?
BACKGROUND The ABCD(2) score is increasingly being used to triage patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Whether the score can predict the need for in-hospital intervention (IHI), other than initiation of antiplatelets and statins, is unknown. AIMS The ability of the ABCD(2) score to predict IHI would strengthen the rationale to use it as a decision-making tool. We thus conducted this...
