Context Management of patients with acute transient ischemic attack (TIA) varies widely, with some institutions admitting all patients and others proceeding with outpatient evaluations. Defining the short-term prognosis and risk factors for stroke after TIA may provide guidance in determining which patients need rapid evaluation.Objective To determine the short-term risk of stroke and other adverse events after emergency department (ED) diagnosis of TIA.Design and Setting Cohort study conducted from March 1997 through February 1998 in 16 hospitals in a health maintenance organization in northern California.Patients A total of 1707 patients (mean age, 72 years) identified by ED physicians as having presented with TIA.Main Outcome Measures Risk of stroke during the 90 days after index TIA; other events, including death, recurrent TIA, and hospitalization for cardiovascular events.Results During the 90 days after index TIA, 180 patients (10.5%) returned to the ED with a stroke, 91 of which occurred in the first 2 days. Five factors were independently associated with stroke: age greater than 60 years (odds ratio [OR], 1.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-2.7; P=.01), diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.4-2.9; P
