TIA Scores' Mortality Predictions and Recurrent TIA and Stroke Prediction

Our study adopts a prospective design. Our research aims to determine the significance of ABCD2, ABCD3-I, Canadian TIA Score, and NIHSS Score in predicting the likelihood of ischemic stroke within 30 days in patients presenting to the emergency department with transient ischemic attack (TIA)

Our study is planned as follows: Patients diagnosed with transient ischemic attack (TIA) presenting to the emergency department will undergo scoring by researchers, although they will not intervene the treatment process of the patients. Patients will be contacted by researchers or their families to ascertain whether they experience a recurrent stroke or TIA within 30 days, and their current health status will be assessed. The collected information will be recorded. The study will include patients diagnosed with transient ischemic attack (TIA) based on tests and imaging conducted at Ankara Etlik City Hospital's emergency department. The planned duration for data collection and analysis is one year. Parameters to be examined: Age Gender Physical examination findings Comorbidities (hypertension, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, COPD, asthma, diabetes, others) Neurological examination findings Time of symptom onset Admission status (intensive care unit / ward) Findings from ultrasound, computed tomography, and MRI imaging Length of hospital stay Mortality (yes/no) We aim to collect data from approximately 300 patients within the course of one year for our study
