Correlation between SAF and SF-36 scores

	Physical functioning	Physical role	Body pain	General health	Vitality	Social functioning	Emotional role	Mental health
SAF	–0.57	–0.59	–0.32	–0.32	–0.53	–0.42	–0.34	–0.37
P value	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001

SAF - severity in atrial fibrillation classification; SF-36 - Short Form-36. For SF-36 domains, higher scores indicate better perceived health. For SAF classification, increasing scores indicate increasing symptoms and poor impact on the quality of life. The correlations were determined by using Pearson’s correlation.
