Table 2
Association between embolic stroke patterns and the diagnosis of embolic stroke of undetermined source at baseline (
).
| Embolic stroke pattern | ESUS () | No-ESUS () | OR (95% CI) | value |
| Multiple acute infarcts (, %) | 11 (42.3) | 46 (45.5) | 0.88 (0.37–2.10) | 0.767 | Simultaneous involvement of different circulations (, %) | 8 (30.8) | 39 (38.6) | 0.71 (0.28–1.78) | 0.461 | Multiple infarcts of different ages (, %) | 11 (42.3) | 26 (25.7) | 2.11 (0.86–5.18) | 0.102 | Isolated cortical ischemia (, %) | 4 (15.4) | 11 (10.9) | 1.49 (0.43–5.12) | 0.529 | At least one embolic stroke pattern (, %) | 16 (61.5) | 51 (50.5) | 1.57 (0.65–3.79) | 0.317 |
