Figure 27. Unadjusted Cumulative Risk of AF Recurrence
Unadjusted curves displaying cumulative risk of recurrent AF, generated using Kaplan-Meier method.
(A) Overall risk of recurrent AF among individuals with and without acute precipitants. (B) Overall
risk of recurrent AF among individuals with infection, cardiac surgery, and noncardiothoracic surgery,
as compared with no precipitant. ese 3 precipitants were selected for display because the risk of
recurrent AF was significantly lower as compared with the referent group without precipitants in
multivariable adjusted models. Individuals with other AF precipitants were excluded from this plot for
clarity. CT, cardiothoracic.
