Why the study?

Does a higher ABCD2 score predict true TIA diagnosis and 90-day stroke risk in patients diagnosed with TIA in the emergency department?

Implication

ABCD2 may aid ED differentiation of true TIA and 90-day stroke risk; extends prior scores but leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does a higher ABCD2 score predict true TIA diagnosis and 90-day stroke risk in patients diagnosed with TIA in the emergency department?

Population

713 patients diagnosed with transient ischemic attack (TIA) by emergency physicians in 16 hospitals in the Kaiser-Permanente Medical Care Plan whose records were reviewed by an expert neurologist

Intervention

ABCD2 score calculation

Outcome

Confirmation of true TIA by expert neurologist and subsequent stroke within 90 dayshard clinical

Higher ABCD2 scores in emergency department patients diagnosed with TIA predict both the likelihood of a true TIA diagnosis and the subsequent 90-day risk of stroke.
