VALIDATION OF RISK SCORES FOR PREDICTING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTED AFTER STROKE BASED ON AN ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD ALGORITHM: A REGISTRY-CLAIMS-ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD LINKED DATA STUDY

Validation of Risk Scores for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Detected After Stroke Based on an Electronic Medical Record Algorithm: A Registry-Claims-Electronic Medical Record Linked Data Study

BackgroundPoststroke atrial fibrillation (AF) screening aids decisions regarding the optimal secondary prevention strategies in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).We used an electronic medical record (EMR) algorithm to identify AF in a cohort of AIS patients, which were used to validate eight risk scores for predicting AF detected after stro
