Prediction of Early Stroke Recurrence in Transient Ischemic Attack Patients from the PROMAPA Study: A Comparison of Prognostic Risk Scores

Abstract

All published scores that do not take into account vascular imaging or prior TIA when identifying stroke risk after TIA failed to predict risk when applied by neurologists. Clinical scores were not able to replace extensive emergent diagnostic evaluations such as vascular imaging, and they should take into account unstable patients with recent prior transient episodes.
