摘要:Early diagnosis of transitory ischemic attack is the most important factor in preventing an isch-emic stroke. Th e new clinical ABCD2 score determines the risk of early stroke following transitory isch-emic attack. Our goal was to determine the risk factors for transitory ischemic attack, the frequency of clin-ical parameters of the ABCD2 score, the risk of subsequent stroke based on the ABCD2 score, and the cor-relation between the score and timing of ischemic stroke following transitory ischemic attack. Among the eight observed clinical parameters of the ABCD2 score, unilateral extremity weakness, arterial blood pres-sure ≥140/90 mmHg and duration of symptoms >60 minutes were the most frequent. As regards time be-tween last transitory ischemic attack and stroke onset, we found that 50% of patients had a transitory isch-emic attack on the same day as stroke and 20% on the previous day, which confi rmed our hypothesis that the ABCD2 score (moderate and high stroke risk) is a good predictor of early risk of stroke following a tran-sitory ischemic attack
