The is a clinical prediction tool used by healthcare professionals to estimate the short-term risk of a stroke following a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) , often referred to as a "mini-stroke". By evaluating five simple clinical factors, this scoring system helps triage patients to determine how urgently they require specialist assessment and intervention. Components of the ABCD² Score

The score ranges from , calculated based on the following criteria: A - Age : 1 point if the patient is ≥60is greater than or equal to 60 years old. B - Blood Pressure : 1 point if systolic BP is ≥140is greater than or equal to 140 mmHg or diastolic BP is ≥90is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg at the initial evaluation. C - Clinical Features : B - Blood Pressure : 1 point if
