The risk of stroke after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) for patients with a positive diffusion-weighted image (DWI), i.e., transient symptoms with infarction (TSI), is much higher than for those with a negative DWI. The aim of this study was to validate the predictive value of a web-based recurrence risk estimator (RRE; http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/RRE/) of TSI.
Data from the prospective hospital-based TIA database of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were analyzed. The RRE and ABCD2 scores were calculated within 7 days of symptom onset. The predictive outcome was ischemic stroke occurrence at 90 days. The receiver-operating characteristics curves were plotted, and the predictive value of the two models was assessed by computing the C statistics.
A total of 221 eligible patients were prospectively enrolled, of whom 46 (20.81%) experienced a stroke within 90 days. The 90-day stroke risk in high-risk TSI patients (RRE ≥4) was 3.406-fold greater than in those at low risk (P <0.001). The C statistic of RRE (0.681; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.592-0.771) was statistically higher than that of ABCD2 score (0.546; 95% CI, 0.454-0.638; Z = 2.115; P = 0.0344) at 90 days.
The RRE score had a higher predictive value than the ABCD2 score for assessing the 90-day risk of stroke after TSI.
对于弥散加权成像(DWI)呈阳性的短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)患者,即伴有梗死的短暂性症状(TSI)患者,其发生卒中的风险远高于DWI呈阴性的患者。本研究旨在验证基于网络的TSI复发风险评估器(RRE;http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/RRE/)的预测价值。
对来自郑州大学第一附属医院前瞻性医院TIA数据库的数据进行分析。在症状发作7天内计算RRE和ABCD2评分。预测结果为90天时缺血性卒中的发生情况。绘制受试者工作特征曲线,并通过计算C统计量评估两种模型的预测价值。
共前瞻性纳入221例符合条件的患者,其中46例(20.81%)在90天内发生了卒中。高危TSI患者(RRE≥4)90天卒中风险比低危患者高3.406倍(P<0.001)。90天时,RRE的C统计量(0.681;95%置信区间[CI],0.592 - 0.771)在统计学上高于ABCD2评分的C统计量(0.546;95%CI,0.454 - 0.638;Z = 2.115;P = 0.0344)。
在评估TSI后90天卒中风险方面,RRE评分比ABCD2评分具有更高的预测价值。
