Yearly Incidence of Stroke and Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation with Concomitant Hyperthyroidism: A National Discharge Database Study.

ABSTRACT: Hyperthyroidism is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), and the latter is a major risk factor for stroke. We aimed to investigate the yearly incidence of stroke and bleeding in AF patients with and without concomitant hyperthyroidism from the French National Hospital Discharge Database. Admissions with AF between January 2010 and December 2019 were retrospectively identified and retrieved from the French national database. Incidence rates of ischaemic stroke and bleeding were compared in AF patients with and without concomitant hyperthyroidism. The associations of risk factors with ischaemic stroke were assessed by Cox regression. Overall 2,421,087 AF patients, among whom 32,400 had concomitant hyperthyroidism were included in the study. During the follow-up (mean: 2.0 years, standard
