Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to refine clinical risk factor stratification and make an optimal intervention plan to prevent ischemic stroke. MATERIAL/METHODS Clinical data, including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) findings, were collected in a cohort of hospitalized transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients from January 2010 to December 2011. Recurrent cerebrovascular events after TIA, including recurrent TIA, minor stroke, and major stroke, were identified by face-to-face follow-up. A multivariate, ordinal, logistic regression model was used to determine significant predictors of recurrent events. RESULTS Of 106 TIA patients, 24 (22.6%) had recurrent TIA and 20 (18.9%) had a stroke within 7 days. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, a history of ischemic stroke or TIA, and ABCD2 score were significantly associated with the recurrent events after TIA (P<0.001, P=0.02, P<0.001, P=0.02). Hypertension (RR=9.21; 95% CI, 3.07-27.61, P<0.001) and duration of symptom (RR=1.10; 95% CI, 1.02-1.17, P=0.01) as an item of ABCD2 score were highly predictive of the severity of recurrent events, whereas ABCD2 score as a whole (P=0.18) proved to be less strongly predictive. CONCLUSIONS A history of hypertension and long duration of symptom independently and significantly predict severe recurrent events after TIA within 7 days, but a high ABCD2 score was less strongly predictive of severe recurrent events.

Abstract
The highest risk of subsequent stroke after a TIA occurs within the first week after the index event. However, the risk of stroke recurrence (SR) remains high during the first year of follow-up. We studied the temporal pattern and predictors of SR (at 7 days and from 7 days to 1-year follow-up). Between April 2008 and December 2009, we included 1,255 consecutive TIA patients from 30 Spanish stroke centers (PROMAPA study). We determined the short-term (at 7 days) and long-term (from 8 days to 1 year) risk of SR. Patients who underwent short-term recurrence and long-term recurrence were compared with regard to clinical findings, vascular territories, and etiology. Enough information (clinical variables and extracranial vascular imaging) was assessed in 1,137 (90.6 %) patients. The 7-day stroke risk was 2.6 %. 32 (3.0 %) patients had an SR after 7-day follow-up. Multiple TIA (HR 3.50, 1.67-7.35, p = 0.001) and large artery atherosclerosis (HR 2.51, 1.17-5.37, p = 0.018) were independent predictors of early SR, whereas previous stroke (HR 1.40, 1.03-1.92, p = 0.034) and coronary heart disease (2.65, 1.28-5.50, p = 0.009) were independent predictors of late SR. Notoriously, 80 % of SR happened in the same territory of the index TIA at 7-day follow-up, whereas only 38 % during the long-term follow-up (p < 0.001). Different predictors of SR were identified throughout the follow-up period. Moreover, the ischemic mechanism differed in early and late stroke recurrences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, brain and vascular imaging have been added to clinical variables to identify patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) with a high risk of stroke recurrence. The aim of our study was to externally validate the ABCD3-I score and the same score taking into account intracranial circulation. METHODS We analyzed data from 1137 patients with TIA from the PROMAPA study who underwent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) within 7 days of symptom onset. Clinical variables and diagnostic work-up were recorded prospectively. The end-points were subsequent stroke at 7 and 90 days follow-up. RESULTS A total of 463 (40.7%) subjects fulfilled all inclusion criteria. During follow-up, eight patients (1.7%) had a stroke within 7 days, and 14 (3.1%) had a stroke within 3 months. In the Cox proportional hazard multivariate analyses, the combination of large-artery atherosclerosis and positive DWI remained as independent predictors of stroke recurrence at 7- and 90-day follow-up [HR 8.23, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.89-23.46, P < 0.001]. The ABCD3-I score was a powerful predictor of subsequent stroke. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.83 (95% CI 0.72-0.93) at 7 days and 0.69 (95% CI 0.53-0.85) at 90 days. When we include intracranial vessel disease in the score, the area under the curve increases but the difference observed was non-significant. CONCLUSION The inclusion of vascular and neuroimaging information to clinical scales (ABCD3-I score) provides important prognostic information and also helps management decisions, although it cannot give a complete distinction between high-risk and low-risk groups.

Higher Carotid Intima Media Thickness Predicts Extracranial Vascular Events and Not Stroke Recurrence among Transient Ischemic Attack Patients. Int J Stroke 2012; 7:125-32.

Abstract
Background Increased common carotid artery intima-media thickness has been associated with an increased risk of vascular ischemic events. We investigated the relationship between common carotid artery intima-media thickness and extracranial vascular events (coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial disease) or stroke recurrence in a cohort of transient ischemic attack patients from the REGITELL registry. Methods High-resolution B-mode ultrasonographic measurements of the common carotid artery intima-media thickness were performed in a series of 283 consecutive transient ischemic attack patients. Clinical, neuroimaging, ultrasonographic, and etiological data were collected. Patients were followed prospectively for six-months or more. Extracranial vascular events and stroke recurrence were recorded. Results Fifteen extracranial vascular events (12 coronary heart disease and three peripheral arterial disease) and 29 recurrent strokes occurred during a median follow-up period of 12·3 months. Patients who experienced extracranial vascular events had significantly ( P < 0·001) higher common carotid artery intima-media thickness values (1·087 (standard deviation 0·189) mm) than subjects who were free of extracranial vascular events (0·887 (standard deviation 0·195) mm). Nevertheless, common carotid artery intima-media thickness was not found to correlate with stroke recurrence. Cox proportional hazards multivariate analyses identified hypercholesterolemia (hazard ratio 6·87, 95% confidence interval: 1·93–24·39, P = 0·003) and common carotid artery intima-media thickness >0·939 mm (hazard ratio 8·90, 95% confidence interval: 2·00–39·49, P = 0·004) as independent predictors of extracranial vascular events after transient ischemic attack. Almost one of every three patients with hypercholesterolemia and high common carotid artery intima-media thickness had extracranial vascular events. Conclusions An elevated common carotid artery intima-media thickness value was associated with a higher long-term risk of extracranial vascular events but no with stroke recurrence. Hypercholesterolemia was the main risk factor for extracranial vascular events. The combination of hypercholesterolemia and common carotid artery intima-media thickness >0·939 mm justify the establishment of aggressive therapies and the study of subclinical coronary heart disease and peripheral arterial disease.
