Provides 1990s TIA incidence benchmarks; leaves open whether modern prevention has altered rates or risk profiles.
Lemesle et al. (1998) conducted an observational in Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) (n=258). Population of Dijon, France was evaluated on Incidence of first-ever TIA. The crude annual incidence rate of first-ever TIA in Dijon, France, was 38.68/100,000 for men and 32.70/100,000 for women over a 5-year period.
