Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare how TIAs and minor strokes are managed and the outcomes achieved in rural versus metropolitan areas of Australia.
- Conducted between 2012 and 2016, it included 613 participants from 16 general practices, with follow-ups after one year.
- Findings showed that rural patients were more likely to be solely managed by general practitioners, received fewer specialist referrals and imaging, yet the long-term outcomes like recurrent strokes and deaths were similar in both groups, highlighting a need for improved care practices in rural settings.
One-year risk of stroke in transient ischemic attack and minor stroke (TIAMS) managed in secondary care settings has been reported as 5-8%. However, evidence for the outcomes of TIAMS in community care settings is limited. The INternational comparison of Systems of care and patient outcomes In minor Stroke and TIA (INSIST) study was a prospective inception cohort community-based study of patients of 16 general practices in the Hunter-Manning region (New South Wales, Australia).

Background: Many persons with migraine experience neck pain and often seek local treatment. Yet neck pain may be part of migraine symptomology and not from a local cervical source.
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke (TIAMS) are risk factors for stroke recurrence. Some TIAMS may be preventable by appropriate primary prevention. We aimed to recruit "possible-TIAMS" patients in the INternational comparison of Systems of care and patient outcomes In minor Stroke and TIA (INSIST) study.

The applicability of this evidence to Australian non-hospital-based TIA/mS management is uncertain.
Aims: Within an Australian community setting we seek to document processes of care, establish determinants of access to care, establish attack rates and determinants of recurrent vascular events and other clinical outcomes, establish the performance of ABC2-risk stratification, and compare the processes of care and outcomes to those in the UK and New Zealand for TIA/mS.
Introduction: Anterior cerebral artery flow diversion, measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound, is correlated with leptomeningeal collateral flow on digital subtraction angiography in the setting of middle cerebral artery occlusion. We aimed to assess the influence of flow diversion as a marker of leptomeningeal collateralization on infarct size and penumbral volume.
Methods: We assessed consecutive patients presenting within six-hours of ischaemic stroke.
