Abstract:

Objective To explore the risk of all-cause death, stroke, and bleeding in the atrial fibrillation(AF) patients with or without recommended anticoagulation preadmitting to hospital. Methods A total of 5 526 hospitalized AF patients in our hospital from September 2008 to December 2018 were enrolled and their information were analyzed retrospectively. The outcomes were confirmed according to hospitalization records, course records and discharge diagnosis, including all bleeding events, major bleeding, minor bleeding, gastric bleeding, stroke and death. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the risk of end events during hospitalization. Results The patients with recommended anticoagulation(1 480, 22.78%) had lower risk of stroke [odds ratio (OR)=0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.50-0.92, P=0.01]. They had similar risk in all bleeding events, major bleeding, minor bleeding, gastric bleeding and all-cause death compared to those without recommended anticoagulation. Conclusions Recommended anticoagulation reduced the risk of all-cause death and stroke, but did not increase the risk of all bleeding events, major bleeding, minor bleeding, gastric bleeding and all-cause death.

Key words: Atrial fibrillation, Recommended anticoagulation, Bleeding, Stroke, All-cause death
