Actual (reported)A clinical decision support rule/tool for classification of TIA/mimic that will enable rapid detection of ACVS in hyper-acute settings is being developed. Also under development is a multi-protein test using mass spectrometry (MS). This test will provide TIA results within an hour or two for a fraction of the price of neuroimaging. With guidance provided by this test at their disposal, physicians can inform patients whether they can go home safely or whether they need further testing. The right patients will receive the right treatment, reduce unwarranted imaging risks and costs, and reduce the burden of stroke. The Heart and Stroke Foundation will work to ensure that physicians, allied healthcare providers, the public and other stakeholders are aware of the outcomes and clinical impacts of this project. Further, work is being done to establish the mechanisms to develop a strong phenotype for TIA that includes medical imaging (MRI), cardiac monitoring, cognitive assessments, and surveillance of health outcomes for extended periods of time.

Actual (reported)Validation of a Protein Classifier for the Diagnosis of TIA in the Emergency Department
Calculated score for distinguishing ACVS from Mimic based on previously locked-down formula involving 16 proteins measured using multiple reaction monitoring in blood samples taken within 24 hours from onset of symptoms.
24 Hours
The Validation of a Clinical Classifier for the Diagnosis of TIA in the Emergency Department.
24 hours
Clinical diagnosis of ACVS, and imaging positive (either DWI+ or CT/CTA+).
Clinical diagnosis of ACVS, and DWI- and/or CTA-.
Clinical diagnosis of mimic and imaging negative.
This is a non-interventional study. However, several blood samples will be taken which would not be taken as part of standard of care.
Registry-reported names are shown in full. Names without a link have not yet been matched to a Syfrah profile.
The study population includes individuals presenting to the hospital ED or stroke clinic with symptoms suggesting mild ACVS who would be referred to the outpatient stroke clinic. Patients will be recruited primarily from emergency department settings or hospital-based stroke units.
