Table 5.
COVID-19 clinical severity for patients with new AF onset compared to those with no AF (top) and those with new AF onset compared to those with recurrent AF (bottom). Both groups are propensity matched*.

| ICU | 125 (50.2%) | 12 (4.85%) | 19.90 (10.59, 37.40), p < 0.0001 |
| Oxygen | 84 (33.7%) | 46 (18.5%) | 2.25 (1.49, 3.40), p = 0.0001 |
| Ventilator Used | 24 (9.6%) | 5 (2.0%) | 5.21 (1.95, 13.88), p = 0.001 |
| New AF n = 203 | Recurrent AF n = 203 | ||
| Hospitalization | 168 (82.8%) | 142 (70.0%) | 2.06 (1.29, 3.31), p = 0.0026 |
