1. Relationship between the RoPE score and both the PFO-attributable stroke fraction (blue bars) and estimated risk of recurrent cerebral ischaemic events (red bars).
Relationship between the RoPE score and both the PFO-attributable stroke fraction (blue bars) and estimated risk of recurrent cerebral ischaemic events (red bars). Higher RoPE scores are associated with a greater likelihood that the stroke was causally related to PFO, but are also associated with a lower risk of subsequent stroke. PFO, patent foramen ovale; RoPE, Risk of Paradoxical Embolism; TIA, transient ischaemic attack.
