3.1. Distribution of SSS with the incident AF
Figure 2 shows the distribution of SSS with the incident AF. Among
subjects with incident AF, 83 (42%) had SSS before the incident AF, and
115 (58%), afterwards. Forty-six (23%) patients had SSS 30 days before
the incident AF and 16 (8%), after the incident AF. For the
time-varying analysis, patients with SSS before incident AF were
included into the no-AF group.
