Table 2. Primary and Secondary Outcomes by Intention-to-Treat Analysis.

Outcome Participants, No. (%) Rate difference, % (95% CI)
Continuous monitoring (n = 163) Usual care (n = 173)
Primary outcome: patients with a cumulative duration of AF or AFL lasting ≥6 min or 12-lead ECG demonstrating AF or AFL detected in first 30 d 32 (19.6) 3 (1.7) 17.9 (11.5 to 24.3)a
Components of the primary outcome
Patients with a cumulative duration of AF or AFL lasting ≥6 min in first 30 d 30 (18.4) 0 18.4 (12.5 to 24.4)a
Patients with at least 1 episode of 12-lead ECG detected AF or AFL in first 30 d 6 (3.7) 3 (1.7) 1.9 (–1.5 to 5.4)
Secondary outcomes
Patients with cumulative duration of AF or AFL lasting ≥6 h in first 30 d 14 (8.6) 0 8.6 (4.3 to 12.9)a
Patients with cumulative duration of AF or AFL lasting ≥24 h in first 30 d 5 (3.1) 0 3.1 (0.4 to 5.7)
Patients with non–protocol-mandated Holter or event recorder in first 30 d 5 (3.1) 4 (2.3) 0.8 (–2.7 to 4.2)
Patients with prescription of oral anticoagulation in first 45 d 7 (4.3) 4 (2.3) 2.0 (–1.9 to 5.8)
Patients with prescription of oral anticoagulation after 45 d 6 (3.7) 5 (2.9) 0.8 (–3.0 to 4.6)
Patients with major bleeding in first 45 d 0 1 (0.6) –0.6 (–1.7 to 0.6)
Patients with major bleeding after 45 d 1 (0.6) 3 (1.7) –1.1 (–3.4 to 1.2)
Patients who experienced death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or non-CNS thromboembolism in first 45 d 1 (0.6) 1 (0.6) 0.0 (–1.6 to 1.7)
Patients who experienced death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or non-CNS thromboembolism after 45 d 1 (0.6) 3 (1.7) –1.1 (–3.4 to 1.2)
Patients who experienced adverse events associated with the use of protocol-mandated monitoring within 30 d after randomization 17 (10.4) 0 10.4 (5.7 to 15.1)a
