Przemijający atak niedokrwienny
Epidemiologia

Przemijający atak niedokrwienny (TIA) charakteryzuje się przejściowym zaburzeniem przepływu mózgowego bez trwałego uszkodzenia tkanki, a jego epidemiologia jest trudna do precyzyjnego oszacowania ze względu na krótkotrwałość objawów i częste mylenie z innymi schorzeniami. Roczna zapadalność w USA wynosi około 200 000-500 000 przypadków (1,1-1,2/1000 osobo-lat), z częstością występowania 2-2,3%. W Europie wskaźniki zapadalności wahają się od 28,6 do 50 na 100 000 osób rocznie, z wyraźnym wzrostem ryzyka wraz z wiekiem – od 13/100 000 u osób <35 lat do 1500/100 000 u osób >85 lat. Czynniki ryzyka TIA pokrywają się z udarem niedokrwiennym i obejmują m.in. nadciśnienie tętnicze (≥140/90 mmHg), cukrzycę, migotanie przedsionków, palenie tytoniu, hipercholesterolemię, zwężenie tętnicy szyjnej oraz wiek ≥60 lat. Epidemiologicznie TIA jest istotnym predyktorem udaru mózgu, z ryzykiem udaru wynoszącym do 3% w ciągu 2 dni, 5% w pierwszym tygodniu i nawet 20% w ciągu 90 dni po epizodzie TIA. Skala ABCD2, uwzględniająca wiek, ciśnienie tętnicze, objawy kliniczne, czas trwania oraz cukrzycę, pozwala na stratifikację ryzyka udaru, gdzie wynik 6-7 punktów koreluje z 8% ryzykiem udaru w ciągu 48 godzin.

Epidemiologia przemijającego ataku niedokrwiennego

Przemijający atak niedokrwienny (TIA) to czasowe zaburzenie przepływu krwi do mózgu, które powoduje przejściowe objawy neurologiczne bez trwałego uszkodzenia tkanki mózgowej. Dokładne oszacowanie epidemiologii TIA stanowi wyzwanie ze względu na trudności diagnostyczne, przejściowy charakter objawów oraz częste mylenie z innymi schorzeniami naśladującymi TIA.123

Częstotliwość występowania TIA

Szacowana roczna zapadalność na TIA w Stanach Zjednoczonych wynosi około 200 000-500 000 przypadków rocznie, co przekłada się na około 1,1-1,2 przypadku na 1000 osobo-lat.123 Jednocześnie dane wskazują, że rzeczywista liczba przypadków TIA może być znacznie wyższa, ponieważ około połowa osób doświadczających TIA nie zgłasza się po pomoc medyczną.4 Ogólna częstość występowania TIA w populacji Stanów Zjednoczonych szacowana jest na około 2-2,3%.567

W badaniu przeprowadzonym we Włoszech surowy roczny wskaźnik zapadalności na TIA (według tradycyjnej definicji opartej na czasie) wynosił 35,2 na 100 000 osób (95% przedział ufności: 30,6-40,3), a po standaryzacji względem populacji europejskiej z 2011 roku – 28,6 na 100 000 (95% przedział ufności: 24,1-33,5).1 Z kolei w Wielkiej Brytanii zapadalność na TIA kształtuje się na poziomie około 50 przypadków na 100 000 osób rocznie.1

Dane z badania Framingham Heart Study wskazują, że w dużej populacyjnej kohorcie częstość występowania pierwszego epizodu TIA wyniosła 3,1%, a wskaźnik zapadalności oszacowano na 1,19 na 1000 osobo-lat.12

Czynniki demograficzne i różnice populacyjne

Zapadalność na TIA wykazuje silny związek z wiekiem. Częstotliwość występowania TIA wzrasta znacząco wraz z wiekiem, od około 13 przypadków na 100 000 osób poniżej 35 roku życia do nawet 1500 przypadków na 100 000 osób powyżej 85 roku życia.1 TIA występuje rzadko u osób poniżej 60 roku życia, a najwyższa zapadalność dotyczy siódmej i ósmej dekady życia.23

Istnieją również różnice w zapadalności związane z płcią i rasą:12

  • Zapadalność wśród mężczyzn (101 przypadków na 100 000) jest znacząco wyższa niż wśród kobiet (70 na 100 000)
  • Częstość występowania TIA jest wyższa u Afroamerykanów (98 przypadków na 100 000) w porównaniu z osobami rasy białej (81 na 100 000)
  • U osób w młodszym wieku zapadalność jest wyższa wśród Amerykanów pochodzenia meksykańskiego w porównaniu z osobami rasy białej niepochodzenia hiszpańskiego

123

Czynniki ryzyka TIA

Czynniki ryzyka TIA są zasadniczo identyczne jak w przypadku udaru niedokrwiennego mózgu. Do głównych czynników ryzyka należą:1234

  • Nadciśnienie tętnicze (ciśnienie ≥140/90 mmHg)
  • Cukrzyca
  • Choroby serca, w tym migotanie przedsionków i inne arytmie
  • Palenie tytoniu
  • Hiperlipidemia
  • Zwężenie tętnicy szyjnej
  • Wiek ≥60 lat
  • Przewlekła choroba nerek
  • Zespół metaboliczny
  • Czynniki związane ze stylem życia (dieta, aktywność fizyczna, spożycie alkoholu)

123

TIA jako czynnik ryzyka udaru mózgu

Jednym z najważniejszych aspektów epidemiologicznych TIA jest jego rola jako istotnego czynnika ryzyka wystąpienia udaru mózgu w przyszłości. TIA nie jest już uważany za łagodne wydarzenie, lecz za krytyczny zwiastun potencjalnego udaru.12

Ryzyko udaru po TIA

Dane epidemiologiczne wskazują na znaczące krótkoterminowe ryzyko udaru po TIA:12

  • Do 3% w ciągu pierwszych 2 dni po TIA
  • 5% w pierwszym tygodniu
  • Do 12% w ciągu 90 dni
  • Do 20% w ciągu 90 dni (według niektórych badań)
  • Około 15-30% udarów mózgu poprzedzonych jest epizodem TIA

1234

Szczególnie istotne jest, że prawie połowa udarów, które występują po TIA, ma miejsce w ciągu pierwszych 48 godzin, co podkreśla znaczenie traktowania TIA jako stanu nagłego wymagającego natychmiastowej oceny i interwencji.12

Współczynnik ryzyka (odds ratio) wystąpienia udaru niedokrwiennego po TIA wynosi:1

  • 30,4 w ciągu pierwszych 30 dni
  • 18,9 w okresie 1-3 miesięcy
  • 3,16 w okresie 4-6 miesięcy
  • 1,87 po 5 latach

1

Dane z badania Framingham Heart Study wskazują, że ryzyko udaru jest prawie pięciokrotnie wyższe u osób, które przebyły TIA w porównaniu do osób bez TIA w wywiadzie.1 Dodatkowo, osoby z TIA mają wysokie ryzyko śmiertelności – do 25% pacjentów umiera w ciągu 1 roku od TIA.1

Skala ABCD2 w ocenie ryzyka

Skala ABCD2 jest ważnym narzędziem do przewidywania ryzyka udaru po TIA. Uwzględnia ona 5 czynników ryzyka:12

  • A – wiek (Age) ≥60 lat
  • B – ciśnienie tętnicze (Blood pressure) ≥140/90 mmHg
  • C – objawy kliniczne (Clinical features) – jednostronne osłabienie lub zaburzenia mowy
  • D – czas trwania objawów (Duration)
  • Dcukrzyca (Diabetes)

12

Wynik w skali ABCD2 koreluje z ryzykiem udaru:1

  • Pacjenci z wynikiem 6-7 punktów mają 8% ryzyko udaru w ciągu 48 godzin
  • Pacjenci z wynikiem poniżej 4 punktów mają 1% ryzyko udaru w ciągu 48 godzin

1

Trendy czasowe i systemowe monitorowanie TIA

W ostatnich dekadach obserwuje się zmiany w epidemiologii TIA oraz w ryzyku udaru po TIA, co jest prawdopodobnie związane z poprawą identyfikacji i leczenia czynników ryzyka naczyniowego oraz skuteczniejszą profilaktyką wtórną.12

Zmiany w ryzyku udaru po TIA

Analiza danych z badania Framingham Study obejmująca 66 lat obserwacji wykazała, że 90-dniowe ryzyko udaru po TIA zmniejszyło się w kolejnych okresach:1

  • Do 1985 roku: 16,7%
  • 1986-1999: 11,1%
  • 2000-2017: 5,9%

1

Ta znacząca redukcja ryzyka (o ponad połowę) w porównaniu z wcześniejszymi okresami przypisywana jest nowoczesnym metodom leczenia, takim jak terapia przeciwpłytkowa, stosowanie statyn i inne interwencje medyczne ukierunkowane na profilaktykę wtórną.12

Wykazano również, że ryzyko 90-dniowe u pacjenta z TIA może zostać obniżone z 12% do około 2% dzięki szybkiej (w ciągu 24 godzin) diagnostyce i intensywnemu leczeniu.1

Wyzwania w nadzorze epidemiologicznym TIA

Dokładny nadzór epidemiologiczny nad TIA pozostaje wyzwaniem ze względu na kilka czynników:12

  • Przejściowy charakter objawów TIA (często trwających tylko kilka minut)
  • Około połowa przypadków TIA pozostaje nierozpoznana i nie otrzymuje pomocy medycznej
  • Trudności diagnostyczne i częste mylenie z innymi schorzeniami naśladującymi TIA
  • Zmiany w definicji TIA (od definicji opartej na czasie do definicji opartej na tkance)
  • Różnice w kryteriach diagnostycznych stosowanych w badaniach epidemiologicznych

123

Walidacja danych administracyjnych pokazuje, że kody dotyczące TIA charakteryzują się wysoką swoistością, ale niską czułością, co prowadzi do niedoszacowania rzeczywistego obciążenia chorobą w systemach nadzoru epidemiologicznego.1

Badania sugerują również, że ponad 50% pacjentów kierowanych do klinik TIA w rzeczywistości cierpi na schorzenia naśladujące TIA, co wskazuje na wysoki odsetek błędnych diagnoz.1 Ta wysoka częstość błędnego rozpoznania wiąże się ze znacznym obciążeniem kosztowym i utraconymi możliwościami właściwego leczenia.23

Implikacje dla zdrowia publicznego i opieki zdrowotnej

Prawidłowe rozpoznanie i leczenie TIA ma kluczowe znaczenie dla zapobiegania udarom mózgu. Dane epidemiologiczne podkreślają potrzebę traktowania TIA jako stanu nagłego oraz wdrażania skutecznych strategii profilaktyki wtórnej.12

Znaczenie wczesnej interwencji

Wysokie krótkoterminowe ryzyko udaru po TIA podkreśla znaczenie szybkiej oceny i leczenia. Natychmiastowa interwencja może znacząco zmniejszyć ryzyko udaru:12

  • TIA powinien być traktowany jako stan nagły, podobnie jak udar mózgu
  • Pacjenci z TIA powinni być kierowani do oddziału ratunkowego w celu natychmiastowej oceny
  • Szybka diagnostyka i agresywne leczenie mogą obniżyć 90-dniowe ryzyko udaru z 12% do około 2%
  • Wczesna interwencja może zapobiec trwałej niepełnosprawności lub śmierci

123

Edukacja pacjentów i personelu medycznego

Ważnym elementem strategii zdrowia publicznego jest edukacja zarówno pacjentów, jak i personelu medycznego na temat TIA:1

  • Zwiększenie świadomości objawów TIA i konieczności natychmiastowego poszukiwania pomocy medycznej
  • Edukacja lekarzy na temat właściwego rozpoznawania i leczenia TIA
  • Promowanie zrozumienia, że TIA jest poważnym ostrzeżeniem przed udarem, a nie łagodnym stanem
  • Edukacja na temat modyfikacji czynników ryzyka (kontrola ciśnienia tętniczego, cukrzycy, zaprzestanie palenia tytoniu itd.)

12

Poprawa świadomości TIA może prowadzić do wcześniejszej interwencji i lepszych wyników leczenia, co znajduje potwierdzenie w obserwowanym zmniejszeniu ryzyka udaru po TIA w ostatnich dekadach.12

Implikacje ekonomiczne

TIA ma istotne implikacje ekonomiczne dla systemów opieki zdrowotnej:12

  • Wysokie koszty związane z diagnostyką i leczeniem TIA
  • Znaczne obciążenie finansowe wynikające z błędnego rozpoznania (zarówno nadrozpoznawalności, jak i niedodiagnozowania)
  • Potencjalne oszczędności kosztów poprzez skuteczną profilaktykę wtórną i zapobieganie udarom
  • Rosnący rynek produktów i usług związanych z diagnozowaniem i leczeniem TIA (przewidywany wzrost rynku TIA w tempie 5,60% CAGR w latach 2021-2028)

12

Dokładny nadzór epidemiologiczny nad TIA jest niezbędny do planowania alokacji zasobów opieki zdrowotnej i prowadzenia przyszłych badań nad zapobieganiem udarom.1

Globalne różnice w epidemiologii TIA

Istnieją znaczące różnice w epidemiologii TIA między różnymi krajami i regionami świata, co odzwierciedla szersze różnice w epidemiologii udaru mózgu.12

Roczna zapadalność na TIA na świecie wynosi około 0,42-1,22 na 1000 osobo-lat, z zauważalnymi różnicami między poszczególnymi regionami.1 Różnice te wiążą się z wieloma czynnikami, w tym dostępnością opieki zdrowotnej, świadomością choroby, metodami diagnostycznymi i rozpowszechnieniem czynników ryzyka.1

W krajach o wysokim dochodzie obserwuje się spadek częstości występowania udarów i TIA dzięki lepszej infrastrukturze opieki zdrowotnej, wczesnemu wykrywaniu i środkom zapobiegawczym. Natomiast w krajach o niskim i średnim dochodzie obciążenie TIA i udarem wzrasta ze względu na ograniczone zasoby, niską świadomość i niewystarczający dostęp do opieki zdrowotnej.1

Globalne systemy nadzoru nad udarem, w tym TIA, są monitorowane od 1968 roku, gdy Światowe Zgromadzenie Zdrowia rozpoczęło śledzenie danych dotyczących zapadalności, śmiertelności i współczynnika śmiertelności.1 Najwyższe ryzyko występuje w Europie Wschodniej (szczególnie w Rosji), Azji i Afryce oraz w niektórych krajach Pacyfiku Południowego i Karaibów.2

    TIA incidence in a population is difficult to estimate due to other mimicking disorders, but TIA incidence in the United States could be around half a million per year, and estimates are about 1.1 per 1000 in the United States population. The estimated overall prevalence of TIA among adults in the United States is approximately 2%. It has been shown that previous stroke history increases the prevalence of TIA. Few studies have shown that the majority of people who presented with initial stroke had prior TIA symptoms.[4] […] The ABCD2 score is very important for predicting subsequent risks of TIA or stroke. The ABCD2 score was derived from providing a more robust prediction standard. The ABCD2 score includes age, blood pressure, clinical symptoms, duration, and diabetes. […] Patients with an ABCD2 score of 6-7 have an 8% risk of stroke within 48 hours. Patients with an ABCD2 score of less than 4 have a 1% risk of stroke within 48 hours.

    The precise number of TIAs is challenging to determine, as many transient neurologic deficits may result from conditions that mimic true cerebral ischemia. Additionally, a significant proportion of TIAs approximately half remain unrecognized and do not receive medical attention. […] The estimated incidence of TIA in the United States is 1.2 per 1000 person-years. Emergency department (ED) visits for TIAs occur at an approximate rate of 1.1 per 1000 US population, and TIAs are diagnosed in 0.3% of ED visits. TIA carries a particularly high short-term risk of stroke, and approximately 15% of diagnosed strokes are preceded by TIAs. […] The annual incidence of TIA worldwide is around 0.421.22 per 1000 person-years. […] The incidence of TIAs increases with age, from 13 cases per 100,000 in those younger than 35 years to as many as 1500 cases per 100,000 in those older than 85 years. Fewer than 3% of all major cerebral infarcts occur in children. Pediatric strokes often can have quite different etiologies from those of adult strokes and tend to occur with less frequency.

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28143922/
    Transient ischemic attack (TIA) epidemiology may have changed in recent years as a consequence of improved identification and treatment of vascular risk factors. […] Our aim was to provide updated information about TIA epidemiology in Italy. […] A total of 210 patients with a TIA according to the traditional time-based definition were included (51.4% women); 151 patients (71.9%) with transient symptoms and negative brain neuroimaging were broadly considered as tissue-based TIA, 29 patients (13.8%) had transient symptoms and evidence of a congruous acute ischemic lesion, and 30 patients (14.3%) had an acute neurovascular syndrome. […] The crude annual incidence rate for traditional time-based TIA was 35.2 per 100 000 (95% confidence interval, 30.6-40.3) and 28.6 per 100 000 (95% confidence interval, 24.1-33.5) when standardized to the 2011 European population. […] Our population-based study found a low annual TIA incidence rate and a fair TIA prognosis confirming the effectiveness of preventive strategies for cardiovascular diseases. […] We also proved the nonfitting applicability of the tissue-based definition in our district.

    In the UK, the incidence of TIA is around 50 per 100,000 people per year. TIA is more common with increasing age. It is rare under the age of 60 years. About 15% of first stroke victims have had a preceding TIA. […] TIAs have the same risk factors as for stroke. […] TIA is associated with a very high risk of stroke in the first month after the event and up to one year afterwards. Other factors associated with an increased risk of stroke include: Increased BP (ie sustained above 130/90 mm Hg). Hyperlipidaemia. Diabetes mellitus. Atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias. Structural cardiac disease. Carotid artery stenosis. Lifestyle factors, including smoking, exercise, eating and dietary habits, and alcohol consumption. A second TIA within one week.

[…] Of subjects enrolled in the Framingham Heart Study who were free of TIA or stroke at baseline, first-ever TIA occurred in approximately 3%. […] The risk of stroke was almost five times higher in subjects who had previously had a TIA compared to subjects who had not. […] The short- and long-term risk of stroke after TIA in this Framingham Heart Study cohort has decreased over decades, presumably due to improved secondary stroke prevention. […] In this large population-based cohort study, the incidence of first-ever TIA was 3.1%. […] The risk of stroke was almost five times higher in subjects who had had a TIA compared to subjects who had not. […] The short- and long-term risk of stroke after TIA in this large cohort has decreased over time. […] The reduction in short- and long-term risk of stroke after TIA despite an aging population is likely due to improved secondary stroke prevention.

    https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/types-of-stroke/tia-transient-ischemic-attack
    A transient ischemic attack, or TIA, is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain. The clot usually dissolves on its own or gets dislodged, and the symptoms usually last less than five minutes. […] While a TIA doesn’t cause permanent damage, it’s a “warning stroke” signaling a possible full-blown stroke ahead. […] Stroke rates double every 10 years after age 55. […] Major risk factors for a TIA or stroke include: High blood pressure Diabetes Heart disease Atrial fibrillation Smoking. […] TIAs’ temporary symptoms, which can last from only a few minutes up to 24 hours, make diagnosis challenging. […] Once TIA is diagnosed, a follow-up visit with a neurologist is recommended to assess your risk of future stroke. […] A new American Heart Association scientific statement discusses rapid evaluation for transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to high risk of future stroke.

    https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2004/0401/p1665.html
    Transient ischemic attack is no longer considered a benign event but, rather, a critical harbinger of impending stroke. Failure to quickly recognize and evaluate this warning sign could mean missing an opportunity to prevent permanent disability or death. The 90-day risk of stroke after a transient ischemic attack has been estimated to be approximately 10 percent, with one half of strokes occurring within the first two days of the attack. The 90-day stroke risk is even higher when a transient ischemic attack results from internal carotid artery stenosis. Most patients reporting symptoms of transient ischemic attack should be sent to an emergency department. […] An estimated 200,000 to 500,000 TIAs occur annually in the United States. One study found that 25 percent of patients who presented to an emergency department with TIA had adverse events within 90 days; 10 percent of the events were strokes, and the vast majority of the strokes were fatal or disabling. More than 50 percent of all adverse events occurred within the first four days after the TIA. Notably, of the patients with TIA who returned to the emergency department with stroke (10.5 percent), approximately one half had the stroke within the first 48 hours after the initial TIA. In 2.6 percent of patients with TIA, hospitalization was required for cardiac events, including congestive heart failure, unstable angina, cardiac arrest, and ventricular arrhythmia.

    The immediate consequences of TIA are fairly benign. But these “warning strokes” often foreshadow a full-blown stroke. The statistics tell the story: ~240,000 people in the United States experience a TIA every year. […] Nearly 1 in 5 people who have a suspected TIA will have a stroke within 90 days, and 2 in 5, when given the appropriate scan, will learn that they actually had a stroke instead of a TIA.

    The risk of recurrent stroke in patients who have suffered a prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) is significant. […] TIAs are frequently followed by stroke. […] Any diagnosed stroke or TIA deserves rapid evaluation and long-term therapy to help prevent further cerebrovascular events. […] The incidence of TIA is estimated at 200,000 to 500,000 per year. […] However, 15% of stroke patients report experiencing TIA previously, suggesting that the incidence is actually much higher. […] It is likely that the incidence of TIA is underestimated because up to half of individuals who suffer TIAs do not seek medical attention. […] TIA patients also have a high mortality risk, and up to 25% will die within 1 year of a TIA. […] Almost half of strokes that occur subsequent to TIA do so within 48 hours, which is an important reason why TIA should be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate evaluation.
  • #1 Transient Ischemic Attack: Part I. Diagnosis and Evaluation | AAFP
    https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2012/0915/p521.html
    Transient ischemic attack is defined as transient neurologic symptoms without evidence of acute infarction. It is a common and important risk factor for future stroke, but is greatly underreported. […] Over the past 10 years, transient ischemic attack (TIA) has been redefined multiple times to reflect the transient nature of not only the symptoms, but also cerebral ischemia. […] Using imaging results instead of a time cutoff to diagnose TIA will impact interpretation of future and past epidemiologic data on incidence and prevalence of TIA. […] The overall incidence of TIA is estimated to be 200,000 to 500,000 cases per year. TIA is a major risk factor for future ischemic stroke, with the greatest risk occurring in the period immediately after TIA. […] The odds ratio for ischemic stroke following TIA is 30.4 during the first 30 days, 18.9 at one to three months, 3.16 at four to six months, and 1.87 after five years.

    Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a well-recognized precursor to a potential ischemic stroke. […] Investigators from the Framingham Study have now evaluated these risks in a large database of participants dating back to 1948. Regular surveillance for stroke occurred, and investigators evaluated stroke at various time points (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and up to 10 years). […] Overall, during 66 years of follow-up, the TIA incidence rate was 1.19/1000 person-years. […] The investigators also compared stroke rates in three time periods: up to 1985, 1986–1999, and 2000–2017. In these three epochs, the 90-day rate of stroke after TIA decreased from 16.7% to 11.1% to 5.9%. […] This comprehensive study provides confirmation that TIA is a major harbinger of stroke; the symptoms should not be ignored. In addition, the analysis of temporal trends provides excellent news, suggesting that modern medical treatments (antiplatelet therapy, statins, etc.) have reduced the 90-day stroke rate by more than half compared with earlier time periods.
  • #1 Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack – Acute and Long-Term Management – Province of British Columbia
    https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/practitioner-professional-resources/bc-guidelines/stroke-tia
    Strokes are a major cause of death and disability in BC. Approximately 4900 incident cases of stroke are hospitalized in BC each year with a 13% mortality rate for all prevalent cases. About 80% of strokes are ischemic/thrombotic and 20% are hemorrhagic. A significant proportion of patients with a stroke survive; rapid assessment and treatment are considered critical to reducing disability and mortality related to stroke. […] Rationale for Urgency of Assessment: TIA patients are at high risk for stroke. Timely investigation and management of TIAs significantly reduces the chance of stroke. The average risk of stroke after a TIA is up to 3% in the first 2 days, 5% in the first week and up to 12% at 90 days. A patients 90 day risk can be lowered from 12% to about 2% with timely (24 hour) investigation and aggressive management. […] The ABCD2 score with vascular imaging is available to assess the short term stroke risk after presenting with TIA. The score predicts the risk of stroke within 2 days after a TIA, but also predicts stroke risk within 90 days.

    Validation of administrative data case definitions is key for accurate passive surveillance of disease. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a condition primarily managed in the emergency department. […] Accurate surveillance of TIA and minor stroke allows for monitoring disease burden and temporal trends in the population. It assists in planning health resource allocation and conducting future stroke prevention studies. […] Our results have implications for the use of administrative data for TIA surveillance and research. Suspected acute TIAs can be identified with high specificity and used to determine the temporal trends of disease, but the low sensitivity will underestimate the burden of disease. […] We show that administrative data identify suspected TIA in the ED with high specificity while underestimating the incidence of acute TIA cases.

    However, the reliability of these scoring system for differentiating between a TIA and its mimics is questionable.

    Transient ischemic attack is defined as transient neurologic symptoms without evidence of acute infarction. It is a common and important risk factor for future stroke, but is greatly underreported. […] Over the past 10 years, transient ischemic attack (TIA) has been redefined multiple times to reflect the transient nature of not only the symptoms, but also cerebral ischemia. […] Using imaging results instead of a time cutoff to diagnose TIA will impact interpretation of future and past epidemiologic data on incidence and prevalence of TIA. […] The overall incidence of TIA is estimated to be 200,000 to 500,000 cases per year. TIA is a major risk factor for future ischemic stroke, with the greatest risk occurring in the period immediately after TIA. […] The odds ratio for ischemic stroke following TIA is 30.4 during the first 30 days, 18.9 at one to three months, 3.16 at four to six months, and 1.87 after five years.

    Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are a well-recognized precursor to a potential ischemic stroke. […] Investigators from the Framingham Study have now evaluated these risks in a large database of participants dating back to 1948. Regular surveillance for stroke occurred, and investigators evaluated stroke at various time points (7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and up to 10 years). […] Overall, during 66 years of follow-up, the TIA incidence rate was 1.19/1000 person-years. […] The investigators also compared stroke rates in three time periods: up to 1985, 1986–1999, and 2000–2017. In these three epochs, the 90-day rate of stroke after TIA decreased from 16.7% to 11.1% to 5.9%. […] This comprehensive study provides confirmation that TIA is a major harbinger of stroke; the symptoms should not be ignored. In addition, the analysis of temporal trends provides excellent news, suggesting that modern medical treatments (antiplatelet therapy, statins, etc.) have reduced the 90-day stroke rate by more than half compared with earlier time periods.

    Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) are often incorrectly called mini-strokes, but theyre every bit as serious as a true stroke. […] A transient ischemic attack is like a temporary stroke. It means theres a temporary (transient) lack of blood flow to part of your brain. Without blood flow, the brain cells malfunction and start to die (ischemia). […] A common nickname for TIAs is mini-strokes. But thats not an accurate name. A TIA isnt necessarily mini or smaller, and TIAs can easily affect large brain areas. Importantly, a stroke may occur after a TIA, within a matter of minutes, hours or days. […] The main reason that a TIA is a medical emergency is because its often a warning that a stroke is possible or even imminent. Up to 20% of people who have a TIA have a stroke within 90 days, and half of those strokes happen within the first two days after a TIA.

    With the difficulty in diagnosing a TIA due to its nonspecific symptoms of neurologic dysfunction at presentation and a differential including many mimics, the exact incidence of the disease is unclear. […] It was estimated to have an incidence of approximately 200,000 to 500,000 cases per year in the US in the early 2000s according to the American Heart Association. […] TIA incidence trends similarly to stroke, such that incidence varies with age, gender, and different race/ethnicity populations. […] Associated risk factors include age greater than or equal to 60, blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 systolic or 90 diastolic, and comorbid diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and atrial fibrillation. […] It is thought that approximately 15 to 30 percent of strokes have a preceding TIA episode associated.

    Transient ischemic attack is defined as transient neurologic symptoms without evidence of acute infarction. It is a common and important risk factor for future stroke, but is greatly underreported. […] Over the past 10 years, transient ischemic attack (TIA) has been redefined multiple times to reflect the transient nature of not only the symptoms, but also cerebral ischemia. […] Using imaging results instead of a time cutoff to diagnose TIA will impact interpretation of future and past epidemiologic data on incidence and prevalence of TIA. […] The overall incidence of TIA is estimated to be 200,000 to 500,000 cases per year. TIA is a major risk factor for future ischemic stroke, with the greatest risk occurring in the period immediately after TIA. […] The odds ratio for ischemic stroke following TIA is 30.4 during the first 30 days, 18.9 at one to three months, 3.16 at four to six months, and 1.87 after five years.

    Misdiagnosing patients that are experiencing TIA carries significant costs for both the hospital and the patient. […] The prediction models developed in this study are performing better than the current tools and scoring systems such as ABCD2 and DOT and could be more effective when combined with other stroke risk stratification tools.
  • #3 Stroke Symptoms and Warning Signs | American Stroke Association
    https://www.stroke.org/en/about-stroke/stroke-symptoms
    A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a warning stroke, but is commonly referred to by the public as a mini-stroke. […] TIA is a medical emergency with the same symptoms as ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Because most TIA symptoms last from only a few minutes up to 24 hours, they are often dismissed and not taken seriously. […] TIAs, which occur before about 15% of strokes, are considered „warning strokes” — they are associated with additional TIAs, full-blown strokes or other cardiovascular problems later. Most of these later health problems happen within just days or weeks of the TIA, so early interventions to reduce risk are vital. […] If you or someone with you is experiencing these or other stroke symptoms, urgent medical evaluation and treatment are needed. Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared. […] Call 911 even if the symptoms go away.

    The risk of recurrent stroke in patients who have suffered a prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) is significant. […] TIAs are frequently followed by stroke. […] Any diagnosed stroke or TIA deserves rapid evaluation and long-term therapy to help prevent further cerebrovascular events. […] The incidence of TIA is estimated at 200,000 to 500,000 per year. […] However, 15% of stroke patients report experiencing TIA previously, suggesting that the incidence is actually much higher. […] It is likely that the incidence of TIA is underestimated because up to half of individuals who suffer TIAs do not seek medical attention. […] TIA patients also have a high mortality risk, and up to 25% will die within 1 year of a TIA. […] Almost half of strokes that occur subsequent to TIA do so within 48 hours, which is an important reason why TIA should be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate evaluation.

    In the UK, the incidence of TIA is around 50 per 100,000 people per year. TIA is more common with increasing age. It is rare under the age of 60 years. About 15% of first stroke victims have had a preceding TIA. […] TIAs have the same risk factors as for stroke. […] TIA is associated with a very high risk of stroke in the first month after the event and up to one year afterwards. Other factors associated with an increased risk of stroke include: Increased BP (ie sustained above 130/90 mm Hg). Hyperlipidaemia. Diabetes mellitus. Atrial fibrillation and other cardiac arrhythmias. Structural cardiac disease. Carotid artery stenosis. Lifestyle factors, including smoking, exercise, eating and dietary habits, and alcohol consumption. A second TIA within one week.

    Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States and worldwide. There are three main types of stroke: ischemic (caused by blockage), hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding), and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or mini-strokes). […] TIAs are different from the aforementioned kinds of stroke because the flow of blood to the brain is only briefly interrupted. TIAs are similar to ischemic strokes in that they are often caused by blood clots or other debris. TIAs should be regarded as medical emergencies. […] According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over a third of people who experience a TIA go on to have a major stroke within a year if they have not received any treatment. Between 10-15% will have a major stroke within 3 months of a TIA. […] Stroke began to be tracked globally via surveillance systems in 1968 with the World Health Assembly, after which data including incidence, mortality and case-fatality was tracked. Globally, the highest at-risk countries are in Eastern Europe (with Russia having the highest stroke mortality rate), Asia and Africa, along with some in the South Pacific and the Caribbean.

    TIA incidence in a population is difficult to estimate due to other mimicking disorders, but TIA incidence in the United States could be around half a million per year, and estimates are about 1.1 per 1000 in the United States population. The estimated overall prevalence of TIA among adults in the United States is approximately 2%. It has been shown that previous stroke history increases the prevalence of TIA. Few studies have shown that the majority of people who presented with initial stroke had prior TIA symptoms.[4] […] The ABCD2 score is very important for predicting subsequent risks of TIA or stroke. The ABCD2 score was derived from providing a more robust prediction standard. The ABCD2 score includes age, blood pressure, clinical symptoms, duration, and diabetes. […] Patients with an ABCD2 score of 6-7 have an 8% risk of stroke within 48 hours. Patients with an ABCD2 score of less than 4 have a 1% risk of stroke within 48 hours.

    The estimated incidence of TIA may range from 200,000 to 500,000 per year. The estimated prevalence of TIA approximates to about 5 million people which correlates to population prevalence of 2.3%. […] There may be certain limitations to assess the accurate incidence and prevalence data on transient ischemic stroke due to different criterias used for TIA in different epidemiological studies. Also, there may be underestimation of transient focal neurological symptoms by public and health care system. However, the estimated incidence and the prevalence of TIA in USA in year the 1999 is as follows: […] The incidence of TIA increases remarkably with age irrespective of gender and race. […] The incidence of TIA is more common in males. […] The incidence of TIA is high among African American race in older age group. However, the incidence of TIA is reported to be high in Mexican Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites at younger ages.
