Patients with POAF were matched in a 1:5 ratio on age, sex, year of AF diagnosis, and oral anticoagulation (OAC) status at the beginning of follow-up with patients with non-perioperative AF. From discharge, we examined adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke using multivariable Cox regression analysis. The study population comprised 1041 (out of 42\u00a0021 who underwent major emergency abdominal surgery) patients with POAF and 5205 patients with non-perioperative AF. The median age was 78 years [interquartile range: 71\u201384] for those initiated on OAC therapy and 78 years [interquartile range: 71\u201385] for those not initiated on OAC therapy. During the first year of follow up, POAF was associated with similar rates of stroke as non-perioperative AF {patients initiated on OAC: HR 0.96 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52\u20131.77] and patients not initiated on OAC: HR 0.69 (95% CI 0.41\u20131.15)}.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>POAF in relation to major emergency abdominal surgery was associated with similar rates of stroke as non-perioperative AF.
