Outline • Background • ABCD2 CPR • Results & quality assessment • Discussion
Background • Risk of stroke after TIA is significant • Burden of stroke • Significant challenge to clinicians to identify those at greatest risk • Face Arm Speech Time (FAST)
ABCD2Clinical Prediction Rule Age (≥60 years) Blood pressure (SBP ≥140or DBP ≥90) Clinical features (unilateral weakness and speech impairment) Duration of symptoms (≥60 minutes and ≥ 10-59 minutes) Diabetes 0-3 6-7 4-5 Low Risk Moderate Risk High Risk Management in community Specialist assessment within 7 days Urgent hospital admission (< 24 hours)
Aim • To assess the predictive value of the ABCD2 rule in relation to • 7 & 90 day risk of stroke across the three risk strata
Calibration – risk ratio Predicted Disease risk (%) Observed Low Moderate High Score risk <1 “under-prediction” =1 “accurate prediction” >1 “over-prediction” Predicted Risk ratio -> Observed
Pooled analysis – 7 days Low Moderate High 12 validation studies n= 5626 Total RR(95% CI) 1.11 (0.61-2.02) 1.10 (0.75-1.62) 0.98 (0.72-2.34) I2=0% I2 =59% I2 =27% N=1933 N=2640 N=1053
Pooled analysis – 90 days Low Moderate High 8 validation studies n=4897 Total RR(95% CI) 1.48 (0.86-2.55) 2.10 (1.25-3.53) 1.83 (0.92-3.65) I2=27% I2 =78% I2 =83% N=1660 N=2214 N=1033
Quality assessment • To assess the methodological quality of the validation studies • 2 independent raters • McGinn quality checklist • internal validity • external validity
Discussion • ABCD2 is a useful CPR, particularly in relation to 7 day risk of stroke • Variation in the study setting and design needs to be considered • International consensus regarding low and high risk patients
