Prediction of recurrent stroke with ABCD2 and ABCD3 scores in patients with symptomatic 50-99% carotid stenosis
BACKGROUND Although it is preferable that all patients with a recent Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) undergo acute carotid imaging, there are centers with limited access to such acute examinations. It is controversial whether ABCD2 or ABCD3 scores can be used to triage patients to acute or delayed carotid imaging. It would be acceptable that some patients with a symptomatic carotid stenosis are...
متن کاملRisk prediction of subsequent early stroke in patients with transient ischemic attacks.
BACKGROUND Prognostic clinical scores (ABCD2 and ABCD3-I), as well as specific clinical signs and symptoms (e.g. fluctuations) have been used to predict early stroke risk in patients admitted to hospital after transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). We compared the utility of these scores and signs for prognosis and outcome. METHODS 235 patients with TIAs admitted to our Comprehensive Stroke Cente...
متن کاملCopeptin for the Prediction of Recurrent Cerebrovascular Events After Transient Ischemic Attack
The risk of stroke is increased after a transient ischemic attack (TIA), but the ability to discriminate patients at high versus low stroke risk is still suboptimal. The ABCD2 score, with higher scores indicating greater stroke risk, aims at helping primary and emergency care physicians in the triage of patients with TIA. Although all patients with TIA need an immediate work-up, North-American ...
متن کاملABCD3 and ABCD3-I scores are superior to ABCD2 score in the prediction of short- and long-term risks of stroke after transient ischemic attack.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several risk scores have been developed to predict the stroke risk after transient ischemic attack (TIA). However, the validation of these scores in different cohorts is still limited. The objective of this study was to elucidate whether these scores were able to predict short-term and long-term risks of stroke in patients with TIA. METHODS From the Fukuoka Stroke Regis...
متن کاملABCD2 risk score does not predict the presence of cerebral microemboli in patients with hyper-acute symptomatic critical carotid artery stenosis
INTRODUCTION ABCD2 risk score and cerebral microemboli detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) have been separately shown to the predict risk of recurrent acute stroke. We studied whether ABCD2 risk score predicts cerebral microemboli in patients with hyper-acute symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS We studied 206 patients presenting within 2 weeks of transient ischaem...
