Management and outcome of patients with transient ischemic attack admitted to a stroke unit.
The way in which patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) are investigated and treated varies substantially worldwide. There are no data on the management and outcome of TIA patients admitted to a stroke unit. We assessed to what extent rapid management of TIA patients admitted to a stroke unit led to specific treatments which can prevent stroke and evaluated the early risk and predictors of stroke in these patients. ⋯ Early management of TIA in a stroke unit leads to specific treatments in a significant proportion of cases. The presence of acute lesions on DWI and the ABCD score predict the 3-month risk of stroke after TIA.
