Impact of Co-existing Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation on Different Outcomes of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: Nationwide Inpatient Sample Analysis (2020) With Propensity Score Matching
Current problems in cardiology(2023)
摘要
Various studies in the medical literature reported significant cardiovascular involvement in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was identified as the most commonly observed arrhythmia complicating COVID-19 infection with an increased risk of short-term mortality. We used the National Inpatient Sample Database (NIS) of 2020 to conduct this retrospective cohort study. Our study's population consisted of adult patients hospitalized for COVID-19 Pneumonia with or without the presence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Encounters with COVID-19 and co-existing PAF had higher adjusted odds of inpatient mortality (Adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.11-1.28, P < 0.001), longer mean length of hospital stay (LOS) of 1.17 days (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.38, P < 0.001), and higher odds of different in-hospital complications. Based on these results, conducting more prospective/retrospective cohort studies with an emphasis on long-term follow-up on patients who develop PAF following COVID-19 infection is warranted.
