Adjusted^a hazard ratios (HRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for stroke or systemic embolism, ischaemic stroke, congestive heart failure or all-cause mortality by type of AF, stratified by anticoagulant (AC) treatment at baseline in patients with CHA₂DS₂-VASc score ≥2. The reference group is patients with paroxysmal AF. ^aHazard ratios were adjusted for age, gender, race, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, stroke/transient ischaemic attack, history of bleeding, cardiac failure, vascular disease, moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease, and anticoagulant treatment at baseline.
