Stroke subtype rates by treatment

Type Aspirin (4,032.8 PY)
events
Warfarin (4,044.7 PY)
events
p value
Definite cardioembolic 22 (0.55)   9 (0.22) 0.012
Noncardioembolic   6 (0.15)   5 (0.12) 0.768
Possible cardioembolic 27 (0.67) 15 (0.37) 0.063

Total 55 (1.36) 29 (0.72) 0.003

Figures in parentheses indicate the rate per 100 PY. For p values, exact conditional binomial test for 2 independent Poisson variables, stratified by prior ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
