Patients with minor stroke suffer a substantial risk of further recurrences, especially in the first two weeks. We aimed to develop and validate a prognostic nomogram to predict in-hospital stroke recurrence among patients with acute minor stroke. ⋯ A prognostic nomogram that integrates clinical and imaging information to predict the in-hospital risk of stroke recurrence among patients after acute minor stroke was constructed and validated externally. The nomogram demonstrated adequate calibration and discrimination in both the development and validation cohort.
