Association of onset time of new-onset atrial fibrillation with in-hospital mortality among critically ill patients: A secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in critically ill patients is associated with adverse outcomes. In non-critical settings, the circadian variation in paroxysmal AF is of significant interest; however, circadian variation in critically ill patients with new-onset AF has not been thoroughly studied. This study aimed to examine the association between AF onset time and in-hospital mortality.

Methods

This was a secondary analysis of a prospective multicenter observational study enrolling adult critically ill patients. According to AF onset time, patients were divided into nighttime (0:00-7:59), daytime (8:00-15:59), and evening (16:00-23:59). We conducted a multiple logistic regression analysis to assess the potential association between AF onset time and in-hospita
