Table 5 Comparison of patient characteristics by stroke status in atrial fibrillation cohort.
| Characteristic | N | Overall (N=291) | Stroke (N=256) | No stroke (N=70) | Test statistic (W) | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 291 | 75.26 (9.72) | 76.20 (9.64) | 68.43 (7.38) | 6673.5 | |
| AF burden (years) | 291 | 2.19 (1.18) | 2.33 (1.15) | 1.18 (0.83) | 6892.0 | |
| AF% burden (%) | 291 | 2.87 (1.49) | 3.03 (1.46) | 1.70 (1.16) | 6688.0 | |
| Data are presented as mean (SD) unless otherwise specified. Comparisons between IS and No-IS groups were performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. AF – atrial fibrillation; SD – standard deviation; W – Wilcoxon test statistic. | ||||||
