TL;DR
The early risks of stroke after a TIA or minor stroke are much higher than commonly quoted and more research is needed to determine whether these risks can be reduced by more rapid instigation of preventive treatment.

The results confirm the value of the modified Rankin scale in the assessment of handicap in stroke patients; nevertheless, further improvements are possible.

It is concluded that anticoagulation is effective in reducing the risk of recurrent vascular events in NRAF patients with a recent TIA or minor ischaemic stroke; it prevents 40 vascular events each year for every 1000 treated patients.

Benefit from endarterectomy depends not only on the degree of carotid stenosis, but also on several other clinical characteristics such as delay to surgery after the presenting event, and on the timing of surgery.

The results indicate that the short-term risk of stroke and other adverse events among patients who present to an ED with a TIA is substantial and characteristics of the patient and the TIA may be useful for identifying patients who may benefit from expeditious evaluation and treatment.

Generally more optimistic early prognosis in the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project, particularly for cases of cerebral infarction, has important implications for the planning of clinical trials and for the expected impact that any treatment might have on the general population.

StrokeVery Early Risk of Stroke After a First Transient Ischemic Attack
368 Citations2003Joanna Lovett, Martin Dennis +4 more
The early risk of stroke from date of first-ever TIA is likely to be higher than commonly quoted and public education about the symptoms of Tia is needed so that medical attention is sought more urgently and stroke prevention strategies are implemented sooner.
StrokeDifferences in Vascular Risk Factors Between Etiological Subtypes of Ischemic Stroke
312 Citations2003Ursula G. Schulz, Peter M. Rothwell
Prevalences of risk factors and stroke subtype differ between hospitalized and nonhospitalized patients with ischemic stroke, which may bias hospital-based risk factor studies, and meta-analysis of population-based studies suggests that vascular risk factors differ between stroke subtypes.

The majority of stroke patients are unlikely to arrive at the emergency department and receive a diagnostic evaluation in under 3 h and further studies of stroke delay and corresponding interventions are needed, with careful attention to definitions and methodologies.
StrokeIncidence of transient ischemic attacks in Oxfordshire, England.
199 Citations1989Martin Dennis, John Bamford +2 more
The incidence of TIA increased sharply with increasing age, and the overall incidence in men was very similar to that in women (incidence ratio 1.3), which probably explains the marked male predominance in most hospital-based studies and treatment trials in which the elderly are underrepresented.

These guidelines are developed on the basis of a review of the literature on anticoagulant, antiplatelet, and surgical treatment, supplemented by personal experience, for the management of patients with transient ischemic attacks.

Reduction of blood pressure is effective at preventing a first stroke, and individual risk factors such as a history of hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidaemia, increased blood glucose concentration, and obesity are important considerations for all patients, especially those at high risk.

If hospitalisation of patients with TIA could be reduced, significant cost-savings could be realised.

The outcomes of each of three large cohorts of patients with transient ischaemic attacks, which were studied in the same country at much the same time with the same methods, were compared and found to be quite different from each other.
