Risk of stroke in patients with atrial flutter

Biblo, Lee A., Yuan, Zhong, Quan, Kara J., Mackall, Judith A., Rimm, Alfred A.·2001·The American Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

Using a Medicare-based retrospective cohort study, the stroke risk in patients with atrial flutter (RR = 1.41) was determined to be greater than that in a control group (RR = 1.00) but less than that in an atrial fibrillation group (RR = 1.64). Furthermore, patients with atrial flutter who subsequently had an episode of atrial fibrillation had a higher risk of stroke (RR = 1.56) than patients with atrial flutter who never had a subsequent episode of atrial fibrillation (RR = 1.11).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
