Transient Ischemic Attack in Women: Real-World Hospitalization Incidence, Outcomes, and Risk of Hemorrhage and Stroke
Women have a higher incidence of TIA hospitalizations than men, which may be due to higher rates of nonischemic causes of transient neurological symptoms as evidenced by differences in baseline characteristics and lower rates of subsequent ischemic stroke. Future studies are needed to better characterize transient neurological symptoms in women to avoid excess hospitalizations and unnecessary treatments that may increase hemorrhage risk.
