The ABCD2 score had a higher predictive value of stroke occurrence in AC-TIA (AUC 0.790; 95% CI, 0.677-0.903) than in PC-TIA (AUC 0.535; 95% CI, 0.350-0.727), p = 0.025.

Overview

ABCD2 may stratify short-term stroke risk after anterior but not posterior circulation TIA; leaves open need for territory-specific validation.

Structured PICO

Does the ABCD2 score predict short-term stroke risk differently in anterior circulation TIA compared to posterior circulation TIA?

P
Population
369 consecutive patients who presented with TIA between June 2009 and December 2012 (273 with anterior circulation TIA and 96 with posterior circulation TIA)
I
Intervention
ABCD2 score risk stratification
C
Comparator
Anterior circulation TIA (AC-TIA) versus posterior circulation TIA (PC-TIA)
O
Outcome
7-day occurrence of stroke after TIAhard clinical

The ABCD2 score is a reliable predictor of short-term stroke risk following anterior circulation TIA, but has limited predictive value for posterior circulation TIA.
