Diagnosis of Transient Ischemic Attacks in the Emergency Department (DAITSU)

January 5, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Patients presenting a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) and admitted to the Emergency Department should be referred to a neurovascular specialist. In recent years, several hospitals have established TIA clinics. These units are day hospitals where all the necessary examinations are performed. Access to this expertise has proven beneficial in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly the risk of early recurrence. Unfortunately, this access is limited by issues of medical demographics and unequal access to the healthcare system. In practice, this ideal care is not always possible. A portion of the TIA population is at low risk, and diagnostic and therapeutic interventions are limited, not always requiring neurovascular expertise.

The hypothesis of this research is that the management of a patient who has suffered a TIA (additional examinations, treatment, referral) is not linked to their cardiovascular risk and that the performance of additional examinations and therapies is incomplete.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ABCD2 Score
Time Frame: Up to 12 months

The ABCD2 score is a medical tool used by doctors after a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack).

The total score ranges from 0 to 7:

  • 0-3: low risk
  • 4-5: moderate risk
  • 6-7: high risk
Up to 12 months
