Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) and atrial flutter (AFlut) are common arrhythmias with increased use of invasive procedures. A steady re-evaluation of relevant safety endpoints is recommended and both quality management and pay-for-performance programs are evolving. Therefore, the aims of this study were (i) to investigate and report overall in-hospital mortality and mortality of invasive arrhythmia-related procedures and (ii) to identify mortality predictors in a German-wide hospital network. Administrative data provided by 78 Helios hospitals between 2010 and 2017 were examined using International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems- and Operations and Procedures-codes to identify patients with AFib or AFlut as main discharge diagnosis or secondary diagnosis combined with invasive arrhythmia-related interventions. In 161 502 patients, in-hospital mortality was 0.6% with a significant decrease from 0.75% to 0.5% (P < 0.01) during the observational period. In multivariable analysis, age [odds ratio (OR) 2.69, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.36-3.05; P < 0.01], high centre volume (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.50-0.65; P < 0.01), emergency hospital admission (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.38-1.79; P < 0.01), and Charlson Comorb...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
