ABCD2 may stratify short-term stroke risk after anterior but not posterior circulation TIA; leaves open need for territory-specific validation.
Does the ABCD2 score predict short-term stroke risk differently in anterior circulation TIA compared to posterior circulation TIA?
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.
Wang et al. (2014) studied this question.
