Introduction</h3><p>Patients who have experienced a TIA are at increased risk of having a stroke in the days and weeks following the TIA. Scoring systems have been developed to stratify TIA patients according to their individual future risk of stroke or TIA. The results of these TIA risk scoring systems have been used to guide decisions about the rapidity of access to specialist assessment following a TIA; however these tools are not applied consistently in practice. The committee considered how accurately these scoring systems predicted the risk of stroke or TIA in the first seven days following a TIA and whether these should be used to guide current practice.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.3"><h3>1.3.

The committee&#x02019;s discussion of the evidence</h3><div id="ch2.s1.9.1"><h4>1.9.1. Interpreting the evidence</h4><div id="ch2.s1.9.1.1"><h5>1.9.1.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>Critical outcomes for this review were risk of stroke at 24 hours, 72 hours 7 days and mortality. Important outcomes were identified as functional outcome (mRS) and quality of life.</p><p>No evidence was identified for functional outcome or quality of life, nor for risk of stroke at 24 hours.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.9.1.2"><h5>1.9.1.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>The included evidence consists of two individual patient data (IPD) analyses of 26 observational cohorts from both retrospective and prospective studies, and 5 prospective cohort studies rated as very low to moderate quality across outcomes.</p><p>The population for the majority of the data was patients with confirmed TIA, rather than suspected cases, and so the evidence was downgraded for indirectness. The IPD analyses used data obtained for each person to allow comparison of baseline data and uniform definitions of variables to reduce heterogeneity, and additional unpublished data were obtained. It is noted that selection bias was present in the IPD analyses as the studies only included patients with full data sets, including imaging, and therefore outcomes for ABCD2 and ABCD3 (the risk scores without imaging criteria) were downgraded for risk of bias. Other risks of bias were also present, including high rates of missing data and unclear risk of bias of included studies.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.9.1.3"><h5>1.9.1.3. Benefits and harms</h5><p>In people with TIA, ABCD2, the most widely used risk score, had a C statistic of 0.56 to 0.76 across the studies for risk of ischaemic stroke at 2, 3 and 7 days. Therefore, the committee considered this tool to be poorly discriminative for early risk of stroke. In addition, the lower limit of the confidence intervals for the C statistic were as low as 0.47, indicating a similar chance of predicting the outcome as tossing a coin. Calibration was not reported for ABCD2. The evidence showed similar predictive ability of the ABCD3 score, which includes the addition of dual TIA to the risk score, and also reports poor calibration for this tool.</p><p>Adding imaging of the brain and carotid artery (ABCD2-I and ABCD3-I) to the risk scores showed a small improvement in discrimination of stroke risk, with a C statistic of 0.71 to 0.84 across the studies. However, this still demonstrates only modest discriminative ability and it was noted that although these tools are better at risk prediction than ABCD2, imaging is not currently available in all but one of the settings (i.e. the emergency department [ED]) to which these tools might most usefully apply. The calibration of the prediction rules varied across the risk scores and populations. ABCD2-I and ABCD3 had poor calibration and there was inconsistency for the ABCD3-I score with 1 study suggesting good and the other suggesting poor calibration for this tool.</p><p>The committee discussed the potential harm of not identifying those at high risk of stroke and the implications of this, for example the possibility of not receiving preventative treatment, or receiving it later, leading to increased risk of stroke and potentially worse functional outcome or death. However, the committee noted that since the last version of this guideline was produced, provision of daily TIA clinics is much more common and is now accepted best practice in the UK. Patients with suspected TIA should therefore be seen within 24 hours regardless of their risk as indicated by a risk score. The committee agreed that seeing some patients less urgently based on risk scores had potential for harm because the risk scoring systems are not sufficiently good predictors of risk of stroke.</p><p>The committee noted that there was no disadvantage to patients who are at &#x0201c;low risk&#x0201d; being seen within 24 hours alongside patients at high risk. However, there will be organisational considerations for those services that do not currently have a 7 day TIA clinic provision.</p><p>The committee discussed individual predictors of stroke recurrence, such as carotid stenosis (as identified through imaging in the ABCD3-I risk tool) and atrial fibrillation. They believed that wider issues are useful to consider, such as. evidence of recurrent TIA and presence of anticoagulation, and would expect clinicians to take this into account when assessing patients.</p><p>In conclusion, the committee therefore did not recommend the use of risk scores, as their discriminative ability for future ischaemic stroke risk and their calibration were not good enough. It is recommended that all those who have had a suspected TIA are assessed in a specialist setting within 24 hours.</p></div></div><div id="ch2.s1.9.2"><h4>1.9.2. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No cost effectiveness evidence was identified for the use of scoring systems to assess the subsequent risk of stroke following suspected TIA. The committee considered that risk scoring tools might have an adverse impact on the timing of referral to expert assessment and further imaging (MRI/extracranial arterial imaging including doppler USS). In the absence of economic evidence, the committee also considered the unit costs of outpatient CT and MR imaging. The committee highlighted that current best practice has evolved dramatically since the last version of this guideline was produced and people with suspected TIA are increasingly seen within 24 hours in England.</p><p>The committee noted, however, that there is variation in current TIA clinic service provision and while people with suspected TIA are increasingly being seen within 24 hours (which represents current best practice), 7-day services are not yet universal. The committee discussed the need to decide how to prioritise which people should be seen earliest in TIA clinics and how to allocate direct access scan slots. As the clinical evidence determined that scoring systems are poorly discriminative for early risk of stroke recurrence, the committee did not feel that use of scoring systems was appropriate for prioritising which people with suspected TIA are prioritised first for expert clinical assessment.</p><p>The committee noted that adding imaging of the brain and carotid artery (ABCD2-I and ABCD3-I) increased the C-statistic, improving the risk-prediction capacity of the tool. However, these tools are more costly due to the addition of imaging costs to the costs of administering ABCD2 and ABCD3. Furthermore, the committee noted that access to imaging is not possible in most of the settings in which scoring systems are applied.</p><p>The committee also discussed the costs and effects of incorrect risk stratification using scoring systems. People incorrectly assigned as low risk that are in fact at high risk of recurrent stroke might be referred for specialist assessment and undergo imaging later than they should and might experience delays in secondary prevention, increased risk of stroke, worse functional outcome or death. These outcomes would be associated with a reduction in quality of life. The committee considered that, as the C-statistic for ABCD2 was between 0.6 and 0.7, the risk of incorrect risk stratification was high. The committee agreed that all people with suspected TIA are at significant risk of stroke and so should all be seen within 24 hours. With best practice 7-day TIA clinics in place, the current optimal management strategy is not influenced by the use of a scoring system, and therefore their use is not cost effective.</p><p>The recommendation not to use scoring systems has implications for the timing of expert assessment for people with suspected TIA. This review question did not consider the cost effectiveness of seeing all people with suspected TIA within 24 hours and the review question on the timing of expert assessment has not been updated in the 2017 update of the guideline. The committee noted the results of an original cost&#x02013;utility analysis, undertaken in the original version of the stroke guideline (CG68), which considered the cost effectiveness of early versus late assessment of people with suspected TIA. The analysis concluded that &#x02018;immediate assessment&#x02019; was more effective and less costly than &#x02018;assessment within a week&#x02019; for the entire population of suspected TIA, without the use of a risk stratification tool. Immediate assessment remained dominant in a sensitivity analysis which assumed that 50% of those with suspected TIA had TIA mimics, which in practice lies between 30-50%. The committee agreed that urgent (within 24 hours) assessment arranged for people with suspected TIA represents current best practice, but acknowledged that current practice varies widely. The consensus was that TIA services not currently achieving this should be strengthened in order to see all people immediately, aligning with current best practice. The committee acknowledged that setting up responsive (7-day per week) services in trusts which do not currently offer daily clinics could have a substantial resource impact. In conclusion, no cost effectiveness evidence was identified for the use of scoring systems to assess the subsequent risk of stroke following suspected TIA. The committee chose to recommend that urgent (within 24 hours) assessment at a TIA clinic is arranged, irrespective of the risk of recurrent stroke as predicted by scoring systems. This recommendation was informed by the results of a cost&#x02013;utility analysis which was undertaken in the previous version of this guideline (CG68). The committee anticipates that this recommendation will have a substantial resource impact to the NHS in England.</p></div><div id="ch2.s1.9.3"><h4>1.9.3. Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>It was noted that anyone who has a suspected TIA is at risk of ischaemic stroke, and that in a service that is able to assess anyone who presents within 24 hours, a tool to risk stratify (triage) patients is not needed. The committee discussed that there is variation around the country in access to TIA clinics and that risk stratification is currently used to prioritise those with a high ABCD2 score for assessment. Whilst the committee considered that risk assessing patients using these tools has been used to help prioritise patients where the service is limited, they thought the scoring systems are not reliable and that it was much more important to set up a suitable 7-day service where one currently does not exist.</p><p>This recommendation should not increase the absolute numbers of people who need to receive expert assessment but it does mean that in some areas people may need to be assessed sooner than they currently are.</p><p>The committee noted that education about TIA diagnosis was important. The diagnosis is difficult because the symptoms have resolved at the point of assessment and history taking is crucial. This highlights the need for early specialist assessment. Also it is important to realise that having a TIA (or suspected TIA) is a worrying time for the patient and most people would prefer to be assessed as soon as possible.</p></div></div></div><div id="ch2.rl.r1"><h2 id="_ch2_rl_r1_">References</h2><dl class="temp-labeled-list"><dl class="bkr_refwrap"><dt>1.</dt><dd><div class="bk_ref" id="ch2.ref1">Akijian

<p>Recommendations from CG68</p>
<p>1.1.2.1 People who have had a suspected TIA (that is, they have no neurological symptoms at the time of assessment [within 24 hours]) should be assessed as soon as possible for their risk of subsequent stroke using a validated scoring system[9], such as ABCD2.</p>
<p>[9]=These scoring systems exclude certain populations that may be at particularly high risk of stroke, such as those with recurrent TIAs and those on anticoagulation treatment, who also need urgent evaluation. They also may not be relevant to patients who present late.</p>

<p>Studies not meeting any of the search criteria above will be excluded. Studies published before 2002, abstract-only studies and studies from non-OECD countries or the USA will also be excluded.</p>
<p>Studies published after 2002 that were included in the previous guideline will be reassessed for inclusion and may be included or selectively excluded based on their relevance to the questions covered in this update and whether more applicable evidence is also identified.</p>
<p>Each remaining study will be assessed for applicability and methodological limitations using the NICE economic evaluation checklist which can be found in appendix H of Developing NICE guidelines: the manual (2014).<a class="bibr" href="#ch2.ref58" rid="ch2.ref58"><sup>58</sup></a></p>
<p><b>Inclusion and exclusion criteria</b>

<b>Where there is discretion</b></p>
<p>The health economist will make a decision based on the relative applicability and quality of the available evidence for that question, in discussion with the guideline committee if required. The ultimate aim is to include health economic studies that are helpful for decision-making in the context of the guideline and the current NHS setting. If several studies are considered of sufficiently high applicability and methodological quality that they could all be included, then the health economist, in discussion with the committee if required, may decide to include only the most applicable studies and to selectively exclude the remaining studies. All studies excluded on the basis of applicability or methodological limitations will be listed with explanation as excluded health economic studies in appendix H.</p>
<p>The health economist will be guided by the following hierarchies.</p>
