Correlation between thrombocytopenia and adverse outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thrombocytopenia is often associated with adverse outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the impact of thrombocytopenia on ischemic stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding and all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Methods

Two electronic databases, PubMed and Web of Science, were systematically searched from their inception to December 1, 2023, including the studies on the correlation between atrial fibrillation patients with thrombocytopenia and adverse outcomes. Relevant data was extracted, literature quality was evaluated, meta-analysis was performed by using REVMAN 5.4 software, and the results were reported with odds ratio (OR) of 95% confidence interval (CI).
