Evaluation of the ABC pathway in patients with atrial fibrillation: A machine learning cluster analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation Better Care (ABC) pathway is recommended by guidelines on atrial fibrillation (AF) and exerts a protective role against adverse outcomes of AF patients. But the possible differences in its effectiveness across the diverse range of patients in China have not been systematically evaluated. We aim to comprehensively evaluate multiple clinical characteristics of patients, and probe clusters of ABC criteria efficacy in patients with AF.

Methods

We used data from an observational cohort that included 2,016 patients with AF. We utilized 45 baseline variables for cluster analysis. We evaluated the management patterns and adverse outcomes of identified phenotypes. We assessed the effectiveness of adherence to the ABC criteria at reducing adverse outcome
