Abstract

In the 2020 issue of Women's Health Reports (vol. 1, no. 1; pp. 190?202), the article entitled ?Sex Differences in Disease Profiles, Management, and Outcomes Among People with Atrial Fibrillation After Ischemic Stroke: Aggregated and Individual Participant Data Meta-Analyses? by Xia Wang et al. requires correction. On page 195, Table 1, the values for ?Women, n%? and ?Men, n%? were mistakenly set under the incorrect headings from the row ?Single/Windowed? to the end. The table originally published as: Table 1. Characteristics of Nine Included Cohort Studies in Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation, by Sex Characteristic Women, n (%) Men, n (%) p Sociodemographics Mean (SD) Age (nine studies) 79.2 (9.1) 76.5 (9.5) Grade 12 86 (32.1) 98 (26.9) ?Unknown 38 (14.2) 54 (14.8) Social class (four studies) ?Professional 61 (24.7) 50 (14.9) 4.5?24 hours 112 (34.7) 157 (33.9) ?>24 hours 24 (7.4) 21 (4.5) ?Unknown 126 (39.0) 164 (35.4) Stroke severity ?Mean (SD) NIHSS score (five studies) 9.1 (8.1) 10.8 (8.5) 0.029 ?Mean (SD) GCS score, reversed (two studies) 3.3 (2.9) 3.6 (3.1) 0.402 Loss of consciousness (five studies) ?Yes 179 (27.8) 272 (29.7) 0.611 ?No 434 (67.3) 595 (64.9) ?Unknown 32 (5.0) 50 (5.5) Medications at discharge Antiplatelet agents (three studies) ?Yes 108 (44.3) 176 (53.3) 0.040 ?No 136 (55.7) 152 (46.1) ?Unknown 0 (0) 2 (0.6) Anticoagulant agent (three studies) ?Yes 71 (32.7) 71 (25.7) 0.146 ?No 143 (65.9) 197 (71.4) ?Unknown 3 (1.4) 8 (2.9) Bold denotes statistically significant results.

The table has been revised as shown in the gray shading. Table 1.
