).
| Embolic stroke pattern | Long-term AF () | Non-long-term AF () | OR (95% CI) | value |
| Multiple acute infarcts (, %) | 11 (39.3) | 46 (46.5) | 0.75 (0.32–1.75) | 0.501 | Simultaneous involvement of different circulations (, %) | 10 (35.7) | 37 (37.4) | 0.93 (0.39–2.23) | 0.872 | Multiple infarcts of different ages (, %) | 8 (28.6) | 29 (29.3) | 0.97 (0.38–2.44) | 0.941 | Isolated cortical ischemia (, %) | 4 (14.3) | 11 (11.1) | 1.33 (0.39–4.56) | 0.647 | At least one embolic stroke pattern (, %) | 13 (46.4) | 54 (54.5) | 0.72 (0.31–1.68) | 0.448 |
