New-onset atrial fibrillation among patients with infection in the emergency department: A multicentre cohort study of one-year stroke risk

Patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation in relation to infection are frequent in emergency departments (ED) and may require antithrombotic therapy due to increased risk of stroke. Our objective was to describe the one-year risk of stroke in ED patients with infection, new-onset atrial fibrillation and no antithrombotic therapy.
