Prediction of Benefit from Carotid Endarterectomy in Individual Patients:A Risk-Modelling Study
Lancet 353:2105-2110, Rothwell,P.M., 1999
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Many patients with recently symptomatic 70-99% carotid stenosis may not benefit from carotid endarterectomy. Validation of the predictive score is needed on external datasets, but risk-factor modelling could be useful to identify those pat ients in whom endarterectomy will be beneficial.
