Obese patients with new onset atrial fibrillation/flutter have higher risk of hospitalization, cardioversions, and ablations
© 2024 The Authors..
Obesity significantly increases the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) and evidence from randomized trials indicates that weight loss may reduce the burden of AF/AFL in obese patients; however, the relationship between obesity and healthcare resource utilization in AF/AFL patients is lacking. We sought to assess this relationship in patients with newly diagnosed AF/AFL in a nationally representative cohort of the United States by using the MarketScan® claims database. International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision [ICD 10] diagnosis codes were used to select individuals with a new diagnosis of AF/AFL in 2017 and 2018, adjudicate baseline variables and to classify them according to obesity status. Patients were followed for two years at which point all data was censored. The primary outcome of the study was hospitalizations due to AF/AFL. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the adjusted hazard ratio for obese versus non-obese patients. There were 55,271 patients with new onset AF/AFL, which included 43,314 (78.4 %) who were non-obese and 11,957 (21.6 %) who were obese. There were significantly more males than females among non-obese (65.3 % vs. 34.7 %) and obese individuals (62.3 % vs. 37.7 %). The average age (SD) was similar in the non-obese (54.5 (9.7)) and obese cohorts (54.7 (8.4)), respectively. The incidence of Emergency Department visits (4.0 % vs. 6.5 %), hospitalizations (5.5 % vs. 10.7 %), cardioversions (6.6 % vs. 12.7 %), and ablation procedures (5.3 % vs. 8.6 %) were significantly increased among obese patients.
