Patients with TIAs, especially those with symptom lasting less than 1 hour, were significantly more likely to have a history of TIAs and less likely to have diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, or atrial fibrillation at admission compar ed with those with IS. Cardioembolic etiologies were less frequent and unknown etiologies more frequent among patients with TIAs than those with IS. Functional outcome and mortality did not differ significantly in patients with TIAs of different duratio ns. This study demonstrates differences in comorbidity and etiology among patients with TIAs of different durations and IS. |
