Key Points Question Is functional outcome similar among potential embolic sources after cryptogenic stroke, and is it better or worse compared with that in cardioembolic stroke? Findings Among 2261 patients with cardioembolic stroke and 2163 patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source in this multicenter hospital-based stroke registry cohort study, multivariable-adjusted odds ratios of functional dependency increased in patients with cancer-associated stroke vs cardioembolic stroke but decreased in patients with paradoxical embolism vs cardioembolic stroke. Meaning Potential embolic sources should be considered an important variable associated with functional outcome after cryptogenic stroke.
