Supports equivalent short-term ABCD/ABCD2 utility post-TIA; leaves open whether imaging integration improves risk stratification in prospective cohorts.
Do the ABCD and ABCD2 scores accurately predict short-term stroke risk in patients with TIA?
The ABCD and ABCD2 scores are primarily useful for short-term stroke prognostication after TIA, with their predictive value enhanced by concurrent clinical and imaging data.
Bhatt et al. (2011) studied this question.
