AF = atrial fibrillation, CI = confidence interval, ICD = implantable cardioverter defibrillator

Multivariable logistic regression model adjusted for age, sex, setting of index ablation, intracardiac echocardiography use during the index procedure, pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, sleep apnea, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, renal disease, other non-AF arrhythmias, valvular disease, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease, stroke or transient ischemic attack, heart failure and prescription drug use.
