Stroke: Stroke prevention--time to say goodbye to the ABCD2 score?

Hans-Christoph Diener et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2015 Oct.

Abstract

The ABCD2 score was developed to triage patients with transient ischaemic attack according to the risk of experiencing a stroke in the next few hours or days. However, a new systematic review and meta-analysis on the ABCD2 score gives us considerable cause to rethink its value for clinical situations.
