Predicting stroke risk after sepsis hospitalization with new-onset atrial fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) during sepsis is common, but models designed to stratify stroke risk excluded patients with secondary AF. We assessed the predictive validity of CHA₂DS₂VASc scores among patients with new-onset AF during sepsis and developed a novel stroke prediction model incorporating presepsis and intrasepsis characteristics.

Methods

We included patients ≥40 years old who survived hospitalizations with sepsis and new-onset AF across 21 Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals from January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2017. We calculated the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) for CHA₂DS₂VASc scores to predict stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 1 year after a hospitalization
