ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of ABCD3-I score in predicting the outcome of acute minor ischemic stroke. Methods Totally 255 patients were valued by ABCD, ABCD2, ABCD3, ABCD3-I and ESSEN score then the clinical characters, outcome and early progression of these patients were investigated. Results Forty-eight patients had poor outcome after 90 days. Univariate logistic regression indicated that the differences of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stenosis of criminal artery, abnormal signal in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and other clinical symptoms between poor outcome group and good outcome group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The AUC of ABCD, ABCD2, ABCD3, ABCD3-I and ESSEN score in predicting outcome of acute minor stroke was 0.791 0, 0.798 3, 0.827 9, 0.930 0 and 0.735 9 respectively. There was difference among patients with different ABCD3-I scores both in outcome and early progression. Conclusion ABCD3-I score can predict the outcome of acute minor stroke and supply a new method for personalized treatment.
