Association of atrial fibrillation history with unadjusted and adjusted rate ratios for clinical outcomes (reference group is patients with no history of atrial fibrillation)

Outcome Unadjusted RR (95% CI) P value Adjusted RR (95% CI)*† P value
All-cause mortality 2.16 (1.57 to 2.98) <0.001 0.98 (0.70 to 1.38) 0.93
Bleeding event requiring hospitalisation 2.61 (1.58 to 4.30) <0.001 1.64 (0.96 to 2.82) 0.07
All-cause hospitalisation 1.76 (1.50 to 2.06) <0.001 1.25 (1.06 to 1.46) 0.008
Primary composite 1.61 (1.26 to 2.06) <0.001 0.92 (0.71 to 1.20) 0.53
Secondary composite 2.07 (1.57 to 2.73) <0.001 1.15 (0.86 to 1.55) 0.35

Primary composite=all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina with urgent revascularisation. Secondary composite=cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke.

*Composite, all-cause mortality and bleeding requiring hospitalisation outcomes adjusted for variables in the TIGRIS risk index model: age ≥65 years, diabetes, second prior MI, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, major bleed, medical management of index MI, diuretics, region and country as random effects.

†All-cause hospitalisation outcome (from 7170 patients with complete hospitalisation data) adjusted for predictors of all-cause hospitalisation: cardiovascular event requiring hospital stay 6 months before enrolment, diuretic, chronic kidney disease, age ≥65 years, second prior MI, diabetes, history of cancer, permanent pacemaker, history of COPD, systolic blood pressure, implantable cardioverter defibrillator, history of major bleed, history of angina, cardiologist visit 6 months before enrolment, region, statin or other lipid-lowering drug and history of anaemia.
