ABCD² score

The ABCD2 score is a clinical prediction rule used to determine the risk for stroke in the days following a transient ischemic attack (TIA, a condition in which temporary brain dysfunction results from oxygen shortage in the brain). Its usefulness was questioned in a 2015 review as it was not found to separate those who are at low from those who are at high risk of future problems. A high score correctly predicted 87% of the people who did have a stroke in the following 7 days but also many people who did not have problems.

Scoring system
• For example, a person aged 60 (1 point) with normal blood pressure (0 point) and without diabetes (0 point) who experienced a TIA lasting 10 minutes (1 point) with a speech disturbance but no weakness on one side of the body (1 point) would score a total of 3 points. ==Interpretation==
Interpretation
The risk for stroke can be estimated from the ABCD2 score as follows: • Score 1-3 (low) • 2 day risk = 1.0% • 7 day risk = 1.2% • Score 4-5 (moderate) • 2 day risk = 4.1% • 7 day risk = 5.9% • Score 6–7 (high) • 2 day risk = 8.1% • 7 day risk = 11.7% ==References==
