Implication

Older age and male sex may flag higher post-TIA infarction risk; observational data leaves open anticoagulation effects and requires confirmation.

Structured PICO

What are the risk factors for further TIAs, stroke, and death in patients with suspected transient ischemic attacks?

P
Population
969 patients with suspected transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) followed up from an initial cohort of 1,328 patients across six institutions.
O
Outcome
Risk for further TIAs, stroke (cerebral infarction), and deathhard clinical

In patients with suspected TIAs, older age and male sex are key risk factors for cerebral infarction and death, and anticoagulant therapy may increase mortality in older patients.
