ABCD2 score has equivalent stroke risk prediction for anterior circulation TIA and posterior circulation TIA.

ABSTRACT: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) was clinically divided into anterior circulation (AC) or posterior circulation (PC). Previous study reported that ABCD2 score could predict the stroke risk after AC-TIA but might have limitation for PC-TIA. We aimed to classify TIA depending on neuroimaging and assess the value of ABCD2 score for predicting stroke risk in different territories. Research data was from TIA database of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. TIA patients with acute infarction on diffuse weighted imaging [that is, transient symptoms with infarction (TSI)] were divided into anterior and posterior circulation groups according to the location of infarction. The outcome was recurrent stroke within 7 and 90 days. The predictive power of ABCD2 score was determined using
