Association between embolic stroke patterns and the short-term diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (new atrial fibrillation on baseline ECG or in 7 d Holter) (n = 127).

Embolic stroke pattern	Short-term AF (n = 23)	Non-short-term AF (n = 104)	OR (95% CI)	p-value
Multiple acute infarcts (n, %)	9 (39.1)	48 (46.2)	0.75 (0.30–1.89)	0.541
Simultaneous involvement of different circulations (n, %)	8 (34.5)	39 (37.5)	0.89 (0.35–2.29)	0.807
Multiple infarcts of different ages (n, %)	6 (26.1)	31 (29.8)	0.83 (0.30–2.31)	0.723
Isolated cortical ischemia (n, %)	3 (13.0)	12 (11.5)	1.15 (0.30–4.46)	0.840
At least one embolic stroke pattern (n, %)	10 (43.5)	57 (54.8)	0.64 (0.26–1.58)	0.327

OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval.
