Prevalence, risk factors and prognostic value of atrial fibrillation detected after stroke after haemorrhagic versus ischaemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Prior evidence suggests that atrial fibrillation detected after stroke (AFDAS) is distinct from known atrial fibrillation (KAF), with particular clinical characteristics and impacts on outcomes in ischaemic stroke. However, the results remained inconsistent in ischaemic stroke, and the role of AFDAS in haemorrhagic stroke remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the prevalence, risk factors and prognostic value of AFDAS in haemorrhagic stroke in comparison with ischaemic stroke.

Methods

This was a multicentre cohort study. Patients who had an ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke hospitalised in the Chinese Stroke Center Alliance hospitals were enrolled and classified as AFDAS, KAF or sinus rhythm (SR) based on heart rhythm. Univariate and multi
