The objective of this study was to determine if prognosis after @entity2806 or @entity64 is different for @entity1 and @entity1 . Eligible @entity1 (n = 142), identified on a carotid ultrasound roster, had been hospitalized between 1984 and 1987 within 30 days of a first carotid transient @entity63 attack or @entity64 . @entity1 were considered to have a study outcome if they had a @entity64 or died within 2 years. Gender differences were measured with crude and directly standardized relative risks for @entity1 compared with @entity1 . The crude 2-year risk of @entity64 or @entity204 was 35% for @entity1 and 20% for @entity1 . The crude relative risk for @entity1 compared with @entity1 was 1.74 (95% confidence interval = 1.01-3.00). The relative risk standardized for age was 1.39 (95% confidence interval = 0.84-2.29). The relative risk standardized for prognostic strata and comorbid illness was 1.38 (95% confidence interval = 0.75-2.53). This study does not confirm the hypothesis of a gender difference for risk of @entity64 or @entity204 after an initial transient @entity63 attack or @entity64 . Although the crude relative risk for @entity1 was large and significant, the adjusted relative risk was smaller and nonsignificant. The effect of gender needs to be examined in a larger study that has adequate power to detect an important difference between @entity1 and @entity1 at an acceptable level of statistical significance.
