NCT00321022

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine if emergency department patients with Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) that are managed using a TIA "accelerated diagnostic protocol", or "ADP", demonstrate a significant decrease in their index visit length of stay and cost, with comparable diagnostic and 90-day clinical outcomes relative to TIA patients randomized to traditional inpatient care. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the potential role of a TIA risk stratification tool and to determine the time to a diagnostic endpoint in both groups.
