value of abcd2-f in predicting cerebral ischemic attacks: three months follow-up after the primary attack
نویسندگان
چکیده
cerebrovascular attack (cva) and transient ischemic attack (tia) are major causes of emergency department visits around the globe. a significant number of these patients may experience repeat attacks if left untreated. several risk stratifying scoring systems have been developed in recent years to point out the high risk patients. abcd 2 is based on age, blood pressure, clinical status, diabetes mellitus, and duration of symptoms and is used commonly for this purpose. in this study, we were to enhance its sensitivity and specificity with the addition of another criterion namely atrial fibrillation and making abcd 2-f . a prospective study in two hospitals was performed and 138 patients diagnosed with tia/cva were enrolled. demographic, clinical, and paraclinical data of all patients were registered. all patients were followed for three months for any sign or symptom of a recurrent ischemic attack. recurrent ischemic attacks happened in 9.4% of the patients. none of the criteria of abcd 2-f was associated with higher chance of ischemic attacks. similarly, abcd 2-f was not different between patients with or without repeat cerebral ischemia. the addition of atrial fibrillation to abcd 2 did not enhance the accuracy of this scoring system to detect patients high risk for repeat cerebral ischemia. more studies in the future to improve sensitivity and specificity of this test are warranted.

Prognostic value of the ABCD2 score beyond short-term follow-up after transient ischemic attack (TIA) - a cohort study
BACKGROUND Transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients are at a high vascular risk. Recently the ABCD2 score was validated for evaluating short-term stroke risk after TIA. We assessed the value of this score to predict the vascular outcome after TIA during medium- to long-term follow-up. METHODS The ABCD2 score of 176 TIA patients consecutively admitted to the Stroke Unit was retrospectively cal...

Background: As a significant number of patients diagnosed with transient ischemic attack (TIA) at emergency department are at risk to develop TIA or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), several attempts have been made to figure out a predictive method to detect those at higher risk of such attacks. Therefore, the present study was aimed to evaluate the role of ABCD2 scoring including age, blood pr...

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...
