Among the outcomes examined , the highest absolute risk increase was for heart failure .
Associations between atrial fibrillation and included outcomes were broadly consistent across subgroups and in sensitivity analyses .
Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of death and an increased risk of cardiovascular and renal disease .
OBJECTIVE To quantify the association between  atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular disease , renal disease , and death .
[A prospective study of stroke recurrence and the risk factors].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate prognosis of stroke and identify the risk factors for stroke recurrence . METHODS Based on the West China Hospital stroke register data base , we conducted a prospect i ve follow-up study of stroke patients to record the potential risk factors of stroke recurrence and investigate stroke recurrence at 1 year . Analysis of the risk factors was performed using a logistic regression model . RESULTS A total of 1913 stroke consecutive patients admitted to our department were prospect ively registered . Of these patients , 599 ( 31.3 % ) were identified to have intracerebral hemorrhage ( ICH ) , and 1314 ( 68.7 % ) had ischemic stroke . The total recurrence rate at 1 year was 11.2 % , and was 10.5 % in ischemic patients and 12.7 % in ICH patients . Multivariate analysis adjusted for age and gender identified atrial fibrillation , hypertension , hyperlipemia , family history of stroke , and smoking as the risk factors of stroke recurrence at 1 year . CONCLUSION The 1 year recurrent rate is about 11 % , and monitoring the factors of atrial fibrillation , hyperlipemia , hypertension , and smoking may help reduce the recurrence of stroke
