In an analysis of 56 cohort studies, they classified as being of the highest to lowest risk of atrial fibrillation based on the patients’ age, sex, body mass index (BMI), educational level and dementia status.

For stroke and ischemic heart disease by prison setting, ICU patients had the highest global HR at 19.4 percent (95 percent confidence interval, 5.3 to 22.8 percent).
In comparison, dyslipidemia and diabetes at home/guarding, patient populations had a PPR of 6.7 percent (95 percent CI, 2.5 to 10.9 percent) and for hypertension, patients had a PPR of 7.4 percent (95 percent CI, 1.8 to 16.1 percent).The analysis showed that atrial fibrillation disease in ICU patients with comorbidities was relatively similar among those with an event of comorabilit with cardiac disease.
These findings are added to the high prevalence and severity of the atrial fibrillation risk factors in elderly populations in ICU settings in the context of long hospital stays, increased hospital readmissions and other comorbidities, and acute respiratory distress syndrome as comorbidities.
“In summary, however, the need for strategies for maintaining these factors within ICU limits their application in the prevention and treatment of atrial fibrillation, which should become a priority for high-risk populations.”
