Rounding: Clinical scores round to statutory integer or decimal precision; physiological metrics round to 2 decimal places.

Worked Example: Clinical / Physiology Scenario: ABCD² TIA Stroke Risk

Compute the 0–7 point ABCD² TIA score and 2-day / 90-day stroke risk tier.

  1. Enter lab values, anthropometric measurements, or performance test metrics.
  2. Evaluate the reference equation: ABCD² = Age≥60 (1) + BP≥140/90 (1) + Clinical (0–2) + Duration (0–2) + Diabetes (1).
  3. Inspect the primary classification, supporting indices, and 3 SVG charts.
Result: Computes ABCD² TIA Stroke Risk via ABCD² = Age≥60 (1) + BP≥140/90 (1) + Clinical (0–2) + Duration (0–2) + Diabetes (1).

ABCD² Score for Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) Early Stroke Risk Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result

Compute the 0–7 point ABCD² TIA score and 2-day / 90-day stroke risk tier.

Choose inputs for the case you are checking

The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.

  • Age60 Or Older Points0or1: Age ≥ 60 years (1 point, else 0).
  • Bp140 Over90 Points0or1: Initial Blood Pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg (1 point, else 0).
  • Clinical Features Points0to2: Clinical features (2 = unilateral weakness, 1 = speech disturbance without weakness, 0 = other).
  • Duration Points0to2: Symptom duration (2 = ≥60 min, 1 = 10–59 min, 0 = <10 min).

What the calculation includes

With the default values shown, ABCD² TIA Score is 5 points (0–7). The calculation follows ABCD² TIA Stroke Risk Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.

One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Age60 Or Older Points0or1 from 1 0 or 1 to 0 0 or 1 changes ABCD² TIA Score from 5 points (0–7) to 4 points (0–7). This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.

Where to use caution

  • Uses peer-reviewed clinical and sports physiology formulas.
  • For educational and informational reference only; clinical scores do not replace physician judgment or laboratory reference ranges.

Scope: Global Clinical & Sports Science Consensus Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
