Observational analysis revealed a 48/100,000 annual incidence of minor stroke and TIA, highlighting predictors for stroke recurrence and poor outcomes.
Key Points
The study found a global incidence of 48 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants of minor strokes and TIA.
Recurrent stroke or death occurred in 73 patients, which is about 4.3% of those assessed in the study.
Extracranial ipsilateral stenosis and lack of cerebral artery assessment were significant predictors of poor functional outcomes.
Despite recommendations, a concerning low rate of antiplatelet therapy was observed among patients treated.
