Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) among asthma patients hospitalized in Spain and compare hospital outcomes based on AF presence, with a focus on sex differences and factors linked to hospital mortality.
- Researchers examined data from over 65,000 hospitalizations between 2016 and 2021, finding that nearly 15% of asthma patients had AF, which increased over time, while male patients had a lower risk of developing AF.
- The study concluded that AF in asthma patients led to higher in-hospital mortality rates, especially in older patients and those with additional health conditions, and noted that sex did not have an impact on mortality rates in this group.
(1) Background: Worldwide, asthma, back pain, and migraine are major public health problems due to their high prevalence, effect on the quality of life, and huge economic costs. The association of asthma with an increased risk of these types of pain has been suggested; however, no conclusive results have been obtained to date. The aims of our study were (1) to describe and compare the prevalence of three types of pain localization, namely migraine or frequent headaches (MFH), chronic neck pain (CNP), and chronic low back pain (CLBP), in adults with and without asthma in Spain during the years 2014 and 2020 and (2) to identify which variables were associated with the presence of these types of pain in adults with asthma.

We analyzed children aged 0 to 15 years hospitalized with an ICD code for asthma included in the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database (SNHDD). The analysis was conducted for asthma as the primary diagnosis and with asthma in any diagnosis position.
