  1. AF = atrial fibrillation, HR = hazard ratio, 95%CI = 95% confidence interval, OACs = oral anticoagulants, DOACs = direct oral anticoagulants
  2. Variables for adjusted: Symptoms and pattern of AF, CIEDs, dyslipidemia, CKD, dementia, a history of bleeding, alcohol use, LVEF < 50%, antiplatelet drugs
  3. *A p value < 0.05 indicates statistical significance
