Type of atrial fibrillation and outcomes in patients without oral anticoagulants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of type of atrial fibrillation (AF) on adverse outcomes in Chinese patients without oral anticoagulants (OAC) was controversial.

Hypothesis

The type of AF associated with adverse outcomes in Chinese patients without OAC.

Methods

A total of 1358 AF patients without OAC from a multicenter, prospective, observational study was included for analysis. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were utilized. Net reclassification improvement analysis was performed for the assessment of risk prediction models.

Results

There were 896(66%) patients enrolled with non-paroxysmal AF (NPAF) and 462(34%) with paroxysmal AF (PAF). The median age was 70.9 ± 12.6 years, and 682 patients (50.2%) were female. During 1 year of follow-up, 215(16.4%) p
