Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the effects of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) on patients hospitalized for COVID-19, particularly looking at those over 55 years old.
  • A total of 668 patients were analyzed, revealing that those with new-onset AF had more comorbid conditions and faced higher rates of complications like major bleeding and cardiovascular mortality compared to patients without AF.
  • The findings suggest that while new-onset AF in COVID-19 patients may lead to worse health outcomes, the severity of these outcomes was also influenced by the dosage of anticoagulants administered.

Introduction And Objective: In 2003, The Ministry of Health and Consumption, together with the Autonomous Communities (CCAA), approved a minimum and basic document concerning the establishment of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention State Programmes.
