Can the ABCD Risk Score Predict Positive Diagnostic Testing for Emergency Department Patients Admitted for Transient Ischemic Attack?
Stroke 40:3202-3205, Schrock,J.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
An elevated ABCD score may help predict patients with severe carotid occlusive disease but does not predict positive outcome in other commonly ordered tests for patients being evaluated for transient ischemic attack. An elevated ABCD score cannot be recommended as a tool to guide diagnostic testing in patients presenting acutely with transient ischemic attack.
