Validation of the ACAS TIA/stroke algorithm.
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 کاملModerate sensitivity and high specificity of emergency department administrative data for transient ischemic attacks
BACKGROUND Validation of administrative data case definitions is key for accurate passive surveillance of disease. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a condition primarily managed in the emergency department. However, prior validation studies have focused on data after inpatient hospitalization. We aimed to determine the validity of the Canadian 10th International Classification of Diseases (IC...
متن کاملImpairments in Brain Perfusion, Metabolites, Functional Connectivity, and Cognition in Severe Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Patients: An Integrated MRI Study
Carotid artery stenosis without transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke is considered as "asymptomatic." However, recent studies have demonstrated that these asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (aCAS) patients had cognitive impairment in tests of executive function, psychomotor speed, and memory, indicating that "asymptomatic" carotid stenosis may not be truly asymptomatic. In this study, wh...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of hs-CRP Diagnostic Value and ABCD2 Criteria in Predicting the Future Incidence of Acute Cerebrovascular Events during Follow-up in TIA Patients
Background and purpose: Stroke is the most common and the most deadly neurological disease that is accompanied with many complications. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of hs-CRP and ABCD2 criteria in predicting the future incidence of acute cerebrovascular events during follow-up in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Materials and methods: This cohort stud...
متن کاملAcute Phase Reactants as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke
Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...
