AP19-01009 Abstract View

Methods : Using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database from August 2013 to December 2016, we identified AF patients who newly received dronedarone or sotalol and analyzed the risk of all-cause hospitalization (cardiovascular [CV] or non-CV hospitalization) and all-cause death. Receiving advanced rhythm control (catheter ablation, chemical or electrical cardioversion) was defined as an exploratory secondary outcome. The clinical outcomes were evaluated until December 2017. The propensity score weighting method was used to balance covariates across dronedarone and sotalol users.
