Figure 2.
Compared to patients without atrial fibrillation (AF), patients with AF had a significantly higher (A) CHA2DS2-VASc and (B) admission NIHSS score. In addition, AF patients had (C) a worse 90-day modified Rankin scale (mRS) score as well as worse 90-day mRS when adjusted for the baseline mRS (i.e., they had more frequent worsening of the mRS from baseline to 90-days). (D) There was no significant difference in the 90-day survival between patients with vs. without AF (in 6 patients with and 3 patients without AF the exact time to death could not be established and their time to death defined as 90-days). Boxes are median ± IQR, dotted lines indicate mean, whiskers indicate 10th/90th percentile and outliers are 5th/95th percentile. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons of the CHA2DS2-VASc, NIHSS, 90-day mRS, and mRS-worsening from baseline to 90-days.
