Methods

We analyzed the nationwide health screening recipients in 2009 without previous AF diagnosis from the Korean National Health Insurance Service data. The diagnosis, type, and severity of migraine were determined using claims data. Newly developed AF was identified during a 10-year follow-up. Sex-difference in the effect of migraine on AF was evaluated.

A total of 4,020,488 subjects were enrolled from January 1, to December 31, 2009 and followed-up through December 31, 2018; 4,986 subjects had migraine with aura (age 50.6 ± 14.0 years, men 29.3%); and 105,029 had migraine without aura (age 51.6 ± 14.3 years, men 30.9%). Risk of AF
