Effect of Falls on Frequency of Atrial Fibrillation and Mortality Risk (from the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke Study)

摘要: It is unclear if patients who have atrial fibrillation (AF) a greater fall risk compared with those in the general population and falls increase mortality beyond that observed AF. A total of 24,117 (mean age 65 ± 9.3 years; 55% women; 38% black) participants from REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences Stroke (REGARDS) study were included. AF was identified baseline electrocardiogram data by self-reported history. Falls considered present reported ≥2 within year before examination. Logistic regression used to examine relationship between prevalent falls. Cox death falls, separately combination, without either condition. 2,007 (8.3%) had 1,655 (6.7%) higher prevalence (n = 209; 10%) than 1,446; 6.5%; p <0.0001). After adjustment factors, significantly associated (odds ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04 1.44). Compared no history or concomitant presence (hazard [HR] 2.12, CI 1.64 2.74) (HR 1.44, 1.28 1.62) 1.61, 1.42 1.82). In conclusion, are more likely report REGARDS. Additionally, an increased condition isolation.
