RESUMEN
Objective To explore the value of ABCD3-Ⅰ score in predicting prognosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods A total of 106 TIA patients were evaluated according to ABCD2,ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria.The occurrence of cerebral infarction within 7 d and 90 d was observed.The patients with ABCD3-Ⅰ 0-3 scores were as low risk group (36 cases),the patients with ABCD3-Ⅰ 4-7 scores were as moderate risk group (36 cases),the patients with ABCD3-Ⅰ 8-13 scores were as high risk group (34 cases).Results The occurrence of cerebral infarction within 7 d and 90 d in high risk group was lower than that in low risk group and moderate risk group [within 7 d:23.5%(8/34) vs.2.8%(1/36) and 5.6% (2/36),within 90 d:38.2% (13/34) vs.2.8% (1/36) and 11.1% (4/36)],and there was significant difference (P <0.01).Symptom duration time ≥10 min in ABCD3-Ⅰ score,concomitant diabetes,double TIA,ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis ≥50%,high sign in diffusion weighted imaging were the risk factors for the occurrence of cerebral infarction within 7 d and 90 d in TIA patients (P < 0.05).The area under the receiveroperating characteristic curve for predicting the occurrence of cerebral infarction within 7 d and 90 d in TIA patients by ABCD3-Ⅰ score was higher than that by ABCD2 and ABCD3 score (0.914 vs.0.614 and 0.877,0.869 vs.0.633 and 0.773).Conclusion The ABCD3-Ⅰ score is a simple and effective way to judge the short-term prognosis of TIA and can help to identify the different risk levels,so it is helpful in stratification treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the application value of aspirin and clopidogrel dual antiplatelet treatment combined with ABCD3-Ⅰ scores in treatment of transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods Risk factors were evaluated and imaging was performed in 48 h in one hundred and twenty patients with first attack of TIA [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) scan].According to the ABCD3-Ⅰ evaluation method,the patients were divided into low risk group,moderate risk group and high risk group.Single resistance group was given aspirin 100 mg/d; double resistance group was given aspirin 100 mg/d combined with clopidogrel 75 mg/d.Then the incidence of ischemic stroke in each group within 7 days was observed,and the effects of dual anti-platelet and aspirin monotherapy were compared.Results Within 7 d after TIA,low-risk single resistance group and low-risk double resistance group had no stroke; 9 cases (42.9%,9/21) had stroke in moderate-risk single resistance group,2 cases (2/19) had stroke in moderate-risk double resistance group,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05) ; 9 cases (9/18) had stroke in high-risk single resistance group,3 cases (15.0%,3/20) had stroke in high-risk double resistance group,and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).Three patients in single resistance group and 4 cases in double resistance group showed gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea,acid reflux,and there was no significant difference between 2 groups (P > 0.05).Each group during treatment showed no bleeding tendency,and liver and kidney function in patients was normal.Conclusion In patients of the moderate risk and high risk of ABCD3-Ⅰ scores,dual anti-platelet may have an advantage over single druge in the prevention of ischemic stroke.
