Hazard ratios (95% CI) for ischemic stroke, thromboembolism, all-cause death and cardiac/cerebral death among 1286 patients at the end of the follow-up period.

Univariate model: Univariable analysis of adverse events using a Cox proportional hazards model.Multivariate model: Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke/TIA, peripheral vascular disease, previous TE other than stroke/TIA, age ≥75 years, smoking, paroxysmal AF, renal dysfunction, anticoagulation therapy, and sex category.BMI: body mass index; HF: heart failure; TIA: transient ischemic attack; TE: thromboembolism.Hazard ratios (95% CI) for ischemic stroke, thromboembolism, all-cause death and cardiac/cerebral death among 1286 patients at the end of the follow-up period.
