Short-Term and Long-Term Risk of Incident Ischemic Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack

摘要

Background and Purpose-The relative risk of ischemic stroke associated with transient ischemic attack (TIA) is not well defined because most studies of stroke after TIA did not include comparison groups. We sought to estimate short-term and long-term relative risks of ischemic stroke associated with clinically diagnosed TIA.
