| Abstract: | Background: Early recurrent stroke is a major cause of disability
after TIA. The presence of acute DWI hyperintensity after TIA symptoms is an independent predictor of early stroke risk and
provides prognostic information when included in the ABCD3-I score.
Little information exists on other MRI biomarkers for stroke risk. Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between candidate new MRI biomarkers and early stroke risk in the Dublin BIO-TIA study. Patients and methods: The BIO-TIA Study is a multi-hospital registry of TIAs over a 5-year period. Patients with stroke-physician confirmed TIA and MRI within 72 h of TIA onset were included and followed prospectively for early recurrent stroke, confirmed by a stroke physician. Standardized blinded MRI assessment was performed by a neuroradiologist. [excerpt] |
