ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of ABCD score combined widl diffuse weighing imaging(DWI)for the estimation of transient ischemic attack(TIA)advancing to cerebral infarction in 7 days.Method The clinical dataincludingABCD score and DWI of 105 cases with TIA were analyzed.Results None of TIA patients with ABCD scores<3 advanced to cerebral infarction.There were 83 cases with ABCD scores≥3,among whom 24 cases(28.9%)advanced to cerebral infarction.The higher ABCD scores,the higher incidence of cerebral infarction(P<0.01).Nine of 42 cases(21-4%)with DWI abnrmal advanced to cerebral infarction,while 2 of 50 cases(4.0%)with normal DWI advanced to cerebml infarction (P<0.05).Conclusion ABCD score is alleffective method for the estimation of TIA advancing to cerebral infarction,and when combined with DWI it is more efficient
