Results of marginal structural models evaluating causal associations between anticoagulation and risks of stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) and bleeding within 1-year after hospitalization with sepsis and new-onset atrial fibrillation.

Model Cumulative one-year incidence of outcome in Anticoagulation-exposed per 100 participants Cumulative one-year incidence of outcome in Anticoagulation-Unexposed per 100 participants Risk difference (95% CI) Exposed-Unexposed per 100 participants
Outcome: Stroke/TIA
Primary adjusted model:
Anticoagulation within 30-days of discharge, per-protocol, Super Learner propensity score
5.69 2.32 3.37 (0.36, 6.38)
Sensitivity Analyses
Anticoagulation within 30-days of discharge, per-protocol, logistic regression propensity score 3.13 2.26 0.87 (−2.37, 4.12)
Anticoagulation within 30-days of discharge, intention to treat, Super Learner 3.92 2.32 1.60 (0.0, 3.2)
Anticoagulation within 24 hours of hospital discharge, per protocol, Super Learner 5.83 2.32 3.51 (−0.08, 7.09)
Anticoagulation within 24 hours of hospital discharge, intention to treat, Super Learner 4.77 2.39 2.38 (−0.11, 4.85)
Outcome: Major Bleeding
