Fig. 3From: Clinical prediction scores and early anticoagulation therapy for new-onset atrial fibrillation in critical illness: a post-hoc analysisPrimary outcome in the stratified groups. The primary outcome, which was the composite of mortality or cerebral infarction from AF onset to hospital discharge, was adjusted by the following factors: age, sex, APACHE II score, CHA2DS2-VASc score, HAS-BLED bleeding score, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and infection at AF onset. Rhythm control drugs used during AF from the initial onset included amiodarone, pilsicainide, magnesium sulfate, and other any antiarrhythmic agents. Rate control drugs used during AF from the initial onset included diltiazem, verapamil, landiolol, propranolol, other β-blocking agents, and digoxin.
