Notes:
The pooled analysis looked at annual embolic event rates per age groups with or without risk factors. In the control group, patients between 65–75 years old with risk factors carried a 5.7% rate of risk of suffering an embolic event. The cohort of patients over 75 with risk factors carried an annual risk of 8.1% of suffering an event.
