Validation of TriAGE+ for Predicting Stroke Risk in ED Patients Presenting With Dizziness
Sponsor: Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital
Summary
Ischemic cerebrovascular diseases originating from the brain's posterior circulation account for 20-25% of cases. Among patients diagnosed with cerebellar infarction, 10% present with isolated dizziness as their sole symptom. Notably, posterior circulation strokes and cerebellar infarcts are misdiagnosed 2 to 4 times more frequently than anterior circulation strokes. In 2017, Kuroda et al. developed the TriAGE+ score to assess stroke risk in patients presenting with dizziness. This study aims to externally validate the TriAGE+ score, focusing on its safety, applicability, and reliability in predicting cerebrovascular disease in the emergency department.

Triage+ Score
The TriAGE+ score is used to evaluate the risk of cerebrovascular disease in patients presenting with dizziness. The score assists in determining the necessity of advanced diagnostic evaluation for stroke, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
