Trends and Predictors of Emergency Department Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation: A Statewide Analysis from North Carolina—2016 to 2023
These findings highlight continued clinical complexity and disparities in AF management in a large statewide syndromic surveillance database, particularly the association of comorbid HF and AF in emergent settings. Population-wide surveillance of AF can help assess the need for improved outpatient care, especially in populations with comorbid HF or high-risk and underserved populations.
