Implication
May improve 7-day stroke risk stratification in TSI; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Structured PICO
Does the RRE score predict 7-day risk of stroke better than the ABCD2 score in patients with transient symptoms with infarction?
P
Population
257 consecutive patients with transient symptoms with infarction (TSI) diagnosed by diffusion-weighted images within 24 hours of symptom onset
I
Intervention
Web-based recurrence risk estimator (RRE) score
C
Comparator
ABCD2 score
O
Outcome
7-day risk of recurrent stroke (defined as clinical deterioration associated with new infarction spatially distinct from the index lesion)hard clinical
The RRE score demonstrates superior predictive performance compared to the ABCD2 score for estimating 7-day stroke risk in patients with transient symptoms with infarction.
Limitations
- Needs further validation in larger data sets
