Prediction of major vascular events in patients with transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke: a comparison of 7 models.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with a recent TIA or minor stroke, prediction of long-term risk of major vascular events is important, but difficult. We aimed to study the external validity of currently available prediction models. METHODS We validated predictions from 3 population-based models (Framingham, SCORE, and INDIANA project) and 4 stroke cohort-based models (Stroke Prognosis Inst...
متن کاملPrediction of recurrent stroke and vascular death in patients with transient ischemic attack or nondisabling stroke: a prospective comparison of validated prognostic scores.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several predictive scores have been developed and validated for stratifying cerebrovascular patients based on the risk of future (cerebro)vascular events. We aimed to prospectively compare the predictive accuracy of the Essen Stroke Risk Score, Stroke Prognostic Instrument, Hankey score, and the Life Long After Cerebral ischemia score. METHODS Between August 2005 and De...
متن کاملTrial of secondary prevention with atenolol after transient ischemic attack or nondisabling ischemic stroke. The Dutch TIA Trial Study Group.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE beta-Blockers prevent vascular events in patients after myocardial infarction and lower blood pressure, the main risk factor for stroke. Hence, we assessed the effects of atenolol on the occurrence of death from vascular causes, stroke, or myocardial infarction and on blood pressure in patients after a transient ischemic attack or nondisabling ischemic stroke. METHODS I...
متن کاملPatients enrolled in large randomized clinical trials of antiplatelet treatment for prevention after transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke are not representative of patients in clinical practice: the Netherlands Stroke Survey.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Many randomized clinical trials have evaluated the benefit of long-term use of antiplatelet drugs in reducing the risk of new vascular events in patients with a recent transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke. Evidence from these trials forms the basis for national and international guidelines for the management of nearly all such patients in clinical practice. Howeve...
متن کاملPrevention with low-dose aspirin plus dipyridamole in patients with disabling stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The combination of low-dose aspirin and dipyridamole is more effective than aspirin alone in reducing the risk of recurrent stroke and other major cardiovascular events in patients with a recent transient ischemic attack or minor stroke. It is unknown whether this also applies to patients with a disabling stroke. METHODS We reanalyzed the data of 5700 patients from ESPR...
