Patients With Transient Ischemic Attack With ABCD 2 2 ≥4

Abstract

Background and Purpose—: It is unclear whether patients with transient ischemic attack with an ABCD ² score 2 score components. They were evaluated and treated as soon as possible in a transient ischemic attack clinic with round-the-clock access, 87% of them within 24 hours of the first call to medical attention. Criteria for emergency treatment were internal carotid or intracranial artery stenosis ≥50% or major cardiac source of embolism. Results—: Primary end point was stroke at 90 days. The 90-day stroke rate (number of events/number of patients) was 3.4% (24/701) in patients with ABCD ² score ≥4, 3.9% (7/180) in patients with ABCD ² score 2 score P for between-group comparison 2 score because some with lower scores have treatable causes associated with higher short-term risks of stroke.
