  • QUOTE: The stroke rate was lowest among the 120 patients in the NRAF cohort who had a CHADS2 score of 0, a crude stroke rate of 1.2, and an adjusted rate of 1.9 per 100 patient-years without antithrombotic therapy (Table 2). The stroke rate increased by a factor of 1.5 (95% CI, 1.3-1.7) for each 1-point increase in the CHADS2 score (P<.001). Aspirin was associated with a hazard rate of 0.80 (95% CI, 0.5-1.3), corresponding to a nonsignificant 20% RR reduction in the rate of stroke (P = .27).
