biostudies-literatureUnknown44(3)Kumar N<h4>Background</h4>Data on the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with diabetes among hospitalized patients are scarce. We assessed the AF-related hospitalizations trends in patients with diabetes, and compared AF outcomes in patients with diabetes to those without diabetes.<h4>Hypothesis</h4>AF-related health outcomes differ between patient with diabetes and without diabetes.<h4>Methods</h4>Using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2004-2014, we studied trends in AF hospitalization rate among diabetic patients, and compared in-hospital case fatality rate, length of stay (LOS), cost and utilization of rhythm control therapies, and 30-day readmission rate between patients with and without diabetes.
