Résumé
The pathophysiology of transient global amnesia (TGA) is still uncertain. In the province of Ferrara (Fe-province), Italy, given the health organization and the alarming clinical features, the cases of TGA in the resident population virtually correspond to the resident outpatients diagnosed as TGA cases in the ER of the University Hospital of Ferrara. Thanks to this, a retrospective survey identified 35 (14 men, 21 women) first-ever TGA cases in the resident population in 2018 (346,975 inhabitants) giving a crude incidence rate of 10.10/100,000 (95% CI 7.00-14.00), 8.40/100,000 (95% CI 4.60-14.10) for men, and 11.60/100,000 (95% CI 7.20-17.80) for women, a non-significant gender difference. The incident cases of TGA were evenly distributed according to both season and month. The monthly cases of TGA followed the Poisson distribution (goodness-of-fit test: λ = 2.9, χ
