Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value of three kinds of ABCD score in predicting the risk of new cerebral ischemic stroke within 7 days after transient ischemic attack(TIA)in Chinese.
MethodsThe scores in 150 patients with TIA were evaluated using ABCD2, ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ score within 48 h of admission, and the patients were divided into the low, medium and high risk groups according to the score.According to the onset of new ischemic stroke within 7 days after TIA, 150 patients were divided into the new ischemic stroke group(50 patients) and non-new ischemic stroke(100 patients).Three kinds of scores between two groups were compared.The number of patients with secondary cerebral infarction in the low, medium and high risk groups within 7 days after TIA was recorded.
ResultsCompared with the non-new ischemic stroke group, the scores of three kinds of ABCD score significantly increased in new ischemic stroke group, and the difference of which was statistically significant(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).Except the score of ABCD2, with the increasing of the scores of ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ, the incidence rate of secondary cerebral infarction increased continuously within 7 days after TIA(P < 0.01).The area under the ROC curve showed that the predictive AUC value of three kinds of ABCD score was 0.67, 0.84 and 0.91 within 7 days after TIA, respectively, and the differences of those were statistically significant(P < 0.01).The degrees of accuracy of ABCD3-Ⅰ and ABCD3 score in predicting the secondary cerebral infarction within 7 days after TIA were better than those of ABCD3 and ABCD2 score, respectively(P < 0.01).
ConclusionsABCD2, ABCD3 and ABCD3-Ⅰ score can predict the secondary cerebral infarction within 7 days after TIA, and the higher the score, the higher the secondary cerebral infarction risk within 7 days after TIA is.The prediction accuracy of ABCD3-Ⅰ score is the highest.
