↵a Note that 16 patients in the cardioembolic group and 11 patients in the cryptogenic group had bilateral and/or posterior circulation strokes that were not confined to the ipsilateral ICA vascular territory. These strokes were, therefore, classified neither as right-sided nor left-sided strokes.
↵b Two-sided P value (derived from the Fisher exact test) = .025 for cardioembolic strokes and .099 for cryptogenic stroke.
