背景和目的：关于中低收入国家短暂性脑缺血发作发病率的数据很少。我们的目的是衡量短暂性脑缺血发作的发病率和分布的ABCD 2风险评分在Joinville，Brazils.Methods-In 2009年至2010年，使用多个重叠的来源，我们确定了所有第一次可能的和明确的短暂性脑缺血发作。粗发病率为每10万人15例（12-18例）。根据欧洲人群调整的年龄，发生率为28（22-35）。四分之一是在较高的风险中风的ABCD 2scale.Conclusions-The短暂性脑缺血发作的发病率在Joinville，巴西，低于其他精心设计的研究。新的研究可以澄清测量的比率是由于不确定还是反映了真正的低发病率。（中风。2012;43：1159-1162.）
Background and Purpose-There are scarce data on transient ischemic attack incidence in low-and middle-income countries. We aimed to measure transient ischemic attack incidence and the distribution of the ABCD2 risk score in Joinville, Brazil.Methods-In 2009 to 2010, using a multiple overlapping sources, we ascertained all first ever probable and definite transient ischemic attacks.Results-We recorded 74 definite and probable transient ischemic attacks. The crude incidence was 15 (12-18) per 100 000 population. Age adjusted to European population the incidence was 28 (22-35). One fourth was in the higher risk of stroke by the ABCD2 scale.Conclusions-The transient ischemic attack incidence in Joinville, Brazil, is lower than other well-designed studies. New studies could clarify whether the measured rates were due to underascertainment or reflect a truly low incidence. (Stroke. 2012;43:1159-1162.)
