... by the χ 2 test and the φ-coefficient. Results: Out of 235 patients, 17 patients (7.2%) experienced an early stroke during hospitalization (mean duration 7.4 ± 2.7 days). ABCD2 scores failed to predict early stroke (p = 0.544). ABCD3-I scores correlated better with early stroke recurrences (p = 0.021...

Results: Among 285 TIA patients (from 559 referrals of possible TIA), 69 (24.2%) had either ≧50% carotid stenosis (n = 29) or AF (n = 42...
