Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how common atrial fibrillation (AF) is in ICU patients, the risk factors linked to it, and the management practices being used across different settings.
- - Among 1,415 ICU patients, AF was found in about 15.6%, with newly developed cases accounting for most; common risk factors included hypertension and sepsis.
- - Patients with AF faced worse outcomes, including higher rates of bleeding events and mortality compared to those without AF, although the link to 90-day mortality wasn't statistically significant after adjustments.
