Key result
The provided text contains only the journal's editorial board information and no clinical trial data.
Why the study?
Stroke risk in patients with single time-point screen-detected atrial fibrillation and the effect of oral anticoagulants had not been fully evaluated.
Does oral anticoagulant use reduce ischemic stroke in patients with single time-point screen-detected atrial fibrillation?
Population
11,972 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years attending medical outpatient clinics
Comparison
Screen-detected AF vs clinically diagnosed AF vs no AF, stratified by OAC use
Design
Prospective cohort screening study

Structured PICO
Does oral anticoagulant use reduce ischemic stroke in patients with single time-point screen-detected atrial fibrillation?
P
Population
11,972 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years attending medical outpatient clinics
I
Intervention
Oral anticoagulants (OACs) in patients with single time-point handheld ECG screen-detected atrial fibrillation
C
Comparator
Screen-detected atrial fibrillation patients not receiving OACs, and patients with no atrial fibrillation
O
Outcome
Ischemic strokehard clinical
Single time-point ECG screen-detected atrial fibrillation carries a high risk of ischemic stroke, which is significantly reduced by oral anticoagulant therapy.
