Table 2.
Association between embolic stroke patterns and the diagnosis of embolic stroke of undetermined source at baseline (n = 127).
| Embolic stroke pattern | ESUS (n = 26) | No-ESUS (n = 101) | OR (95% CI) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple acute infarcts (n, %) | 11 (42.3) | 46 (45.5) | 0.88 (0.37–2.10) | 0.767 |
| Simultaneous involvement of different circulations (n, %) | 8 (30.8) | 39 (38.6) | 0.71 (0.28–1.78) | 0.461 |
| Multiple infarcts of different ages (n, %) | 11 (42.3) | 26 (25.7) | 2.11 (0.86–5.18) | 0.102 |
| Isolated cortical ischemia (n, %) | 4 (15.4) | 11 (10.9) | 1.49 (0.43–5.12) | 0.529 |
| At least one embolic stroke pattern (n, %) | 16 (61.5) | 51 (50.5) | 1.57 (0.65–3.79) | 0.317 |
ESUS: embolic stroke of undetermined source; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
