|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | 145 | 195 | 269 | 266 | 297 | |
| # incident stroke | 11 | 20 | 28 | 24 | 30 | |
| HR (95% CI), Model 1 | 1(ref) | 1.29 (0.62–2.70) | 1.50 (0.74–3.02) | 1.42 (0.69–2.91) | 1.91 (0.95–3.82) | 1.12 (0.99–1.27) |

Model 1: Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, sex, race/center
Model 2: Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for age, sex, race/center and the remaining CHA2DS2-VASc
variables of stroke/transient ischemic attack, heart failure, myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease and also anticoagulation use.
