TIA patients with higher ABCD3-I scores are prone to a higher incidence of intracranial stenosis, unstable carotid plaques and multiple-vessel involvement.
Functional Neurology 2018 October
The ABCD3-I criteria have proved to be effective for use in regular clinical practice to assist in transient ischemic attack (TIA) risk stratification and treatment. In this prospective study we aimed to explore the relationships between risk stratification and arterial stenosis location, carotid plaque morphology and vessel involvement in 90 TIA patients, stratifying risk by ABCD3-I scores. Clinical variables such as total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, homocysteine and high-sensitive C-reactive protein levels were recorded. The endpoint was subsequent stroke at seven-day follow-up. Ninety patients were divided into three risk groups on the basis of their ABCD3-I scores. The results revealed that patients with higher ABCD3-I scores showed a higher occurrence of intracranial stenosis (P < 0.05), less organized carotid plaques (P < 0.05) and multiple-vessel involvement (P < 0.05).
