Abstract

This multi-institution study had three primary aims: 1) to validate the California and ABCD scores for prediction of stroke in patients who have suffered transient ischemic attack (TIA); 2) to generate a new scoring system that optimizes 2-day stroke risk prediction utilizing original data from the California and ABCD studies in combination with data from the present study; and 3) to validate this new scoring system in large cohorts. The authors state that 2-day stroke risk prediction is of high importance because half of all post-TIA strokes occurring within 90 days of TIA occur in the first 48 h.
