The value of ABCD3-Ⅰ score in prediction of cerebral infarction after transient ischaemic attack / 中华内科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the ability of ABCD3-Ⅰ score in evaluating the early risk of cerebral infarction after transient ischemic attack ( TIA ).Methods A total of 107 TIA patients were evaluated according to ABCD2,ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria.The occurrences of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days were observed.Results The AUCRoc of ABCD2,ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ were 0.61,0.66 and 0.71 in predicting the risk of cerebral infarction within 2 days,and were 0.62,0.68 and 0.74 in predicting within 7 days,respectively.Among 107 patients with TIA,13 evolved into cerebral infarction within 2 days,accounting for 12.1％,and 24 within 7 days,accounting for 22.4％.According to ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria,17 patients were of low risk scored 0-3 ; 54 patients were of medium risk scored 4-7 ; and 36 patients were of high risk scored 8-13.The different incidence of cerebral infarction after TIA was related to ABCD3-Ⅰ scorethe higher the score was,the higher incidence was.Except for age factor,every score item of ABCD3-Ⅰ display obvious influence to the occurrence of cerebral infarction within 2 days and 7 days after TIA (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion ABCD3-Ⅰ criteria could more effectively predict the occurrence of early risk of cerebral infarction after TIA,which could be used in regular clinical practice for assistance in TIA risk stratification and treatment.
