Abstract
Editors' Note: Drs. Phan and Srikanth point out that in “Better outcomes for hospitalized patients with TIA when in stroke units: An observational study,” the recurrence rate was much higher than that in an Australian rapid/outpatient-based TIA pathway. Inability to walk (which could indicate stroke instead of TIA), low usage of antiplatelet therapy, and time to antiplatelet therapy are possible explanations. In response, Cadilhac et al. comment that initiation of aspirin within several hours vs 24–48 hours has not been shown to clearly improve outcomes.
