Article Synopsis
- Atrial arrhythmias frequently occur in patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and lead to increased hospitalization rates.
- A large-scale study analyzed data from over 1.5 million hospitalizations related to AWS, revealing that 9.72% of these patients had arrhythmias, which significantly impacted their health outcomes.
- Patients with AWS and arrhythmias had higher in-hospital mortality, increased risks of complications (like heart failure and kidney injury), longer hospital stays, and greater treatment costs compared to those without arrhythmias.
