AF = atrial fibrillation; CABG = coronary artery bypass graft; CI = confidence interval; TIA = transient ischaemic attack.

Whilst TIAs per se are less robust as an endpoint, a confirmed diagnosis would confer a risk similar to a stroke or systemic embolism. Multivariate analysis, based on 90 490 patients without anticoagulant treatment during follow-up.
