Burden of atrial fibrillation and its attributable risk factors from 1990 to 2019: An analysis of the Global Burden of Disease study 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding the pattern and trend of the atrial fibrillation (AF) burden are essential for developing effective preventive strategies. The purpose of this study was to estimate AF burdens and risk factors in 204 countries and territories between 1990 and 2019.

Materials and methods

Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2019, including incidence, death, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and the attributable risk factors. In order to quantify changes in the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized death rate (ASDR), and age-standardized DALY rate between 1990 and 2019, the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used. Also, AF burden was assessed in relation to the Socio-demographic Index (SDI).
