Abstract

In “Migraine with visual aura is a risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation: A cohort study,” Sen et al. followed 11,939 patients with headache and no diagnosis of atrial fibrillation for 20 years and found that after adjusting for confounders, migraine with visual aura was associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 11,939 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
