Blacks Are Less Likely To Be Admitted with Transient Ischemic Attack Than Whites in the Bronx (P03.197)
CONCLUSIONS: The TIA-IS ratio differs by age, gender and race, raising the question of whether some groups are less likely to be admitted with TIA than others. We suspect that the differences are related to physician and patient behavior. In particular, blacks, particularly black men, may be less likely to obtain emergency care for TIA symptoms than whites or Hispanics. If confirmed, this finding would support targeting resources for public education on TIA to black Americans.Disclosure: Dr. Bhupali has nothing to disclose. Dr. Labovitz has nothing to disclose.

White Matter Changes on Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Risk Factor for Stroke in an African Population?
Background: White matter changes are frequently observed incidental findings in elderly individuals. Many studies in Europe and the United States have assessed the association of white matter changes with stroke and other diseases. No similar study has been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa, where risk factors for stroke differ. Our objective was to explore the association between severity of white matter changes (based on visual rating scales) and stroke in a Nigerian population.Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 50 patients were retrospectively assessed and scored using 3 different visual rating scales (by ...
