Implantable loop recorder (ILR) is recommended to detect subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) following cryptogenic stroke, but the clinical outcomes of this practice is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate 12-month AF detection, change in oral anticoagulation (OAC), and recurrent stroke, in ILR versus usual care after ischemic stroke. We searched Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ILR to usual care following any ischemic stroke. Primary outcomes were cumulative AF detection and recurrent stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) over 12 months. Secondary outcome was OAC initiation. Meta-analysis was performed with Mantel-Haenszel pooled odds ratios (ORs) and random effects models. Of 200 identified articles, 3 trials were included (1233 participants). CRYSTAL AF included cryptogenic stroke only, STROKE-AF included small- or large-vessel stroke only, and PER DIEM included all ischemic strokes. The 12-month AF detection was 13% in the ILR group and 2.4% in controls. ILR was more likely to detect AF compared to usual care (OR 5.8, 95% CI, 3.2–10.2). Stroke or TIA occurred in 7% with ILR and 9% with usual care (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.5–1.2). Among patients with detected AF, 97% and 100% were started on OAC in CRYSTAL AF and PER DIEM, respectively, compared to 68% in STROKE-AF. In conclusion, ILR was superior to usual care in AF detection, but the relative low incidence of AF and the non-differential risk of stroke between the ILR and usual care arms may suggest that most patients do not benefit from ILR implantation. Further studies are warranted to understand if patient selection can be improved to increase the diagnostic yield of ILR.
