Could a simple score prevent missed strokes in dizzy patients?
NCT ID NCT06641050
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a tool called the TriAGE+ score to see how well it predicts stroke risk in 818 emergency room patients with dizziness. Dizziness can be a sign of a stroke, but it is often missed. The goal was to check if the score is safe and reliable for use in busy ERs to help doctors catch strokes earlier.

Who is studied
The study will include adult (\>18 years old) patients presenting to the emergency department with dizziness. These patients must provide informed consent, or consent must be obtained from their legal guardians if the patients are unable to do so. This population will serve as the basis for externally validating the TriAGE+ score, developed in Japan, in a Turkish emergency department setting.
