“…This study poses an interesting premise and explores whether admission timing impacts clinical adverse events occurrence in patients with AF with and without concomittant stroke. Indeed, the influence of admission timing on clinical outcomes is an emerging field and this question takes an interesting perspective looking at the risk for such population 8–11. We attempt to draw a relationship using a nationwide coding data 12 13.…”

PurposeThe relation between hospitalization timing and risk of clinical outcomes among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with and without stroke remained undetermined.MethodsRehospitalization due to AF, cardiovascular (CV) death and all-cause mortality were the outcomes of interest in this study. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was applied to estimate the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsWhile considering patients with AF hospitalized during weekdays without stroke as the reference group, patients with AF hospitalized during weekends with stroke had the risk of AF rehospitalization, CV death and all-cause death by 1.48 (95% CI 1.44 to 1.51), 1.77 (95% CI 1.71 to 1.83) and 1.17 (95% CI 1.15 to 1.19) times, respectively.ConclusionPatients with AF hospitalized during weekends with stroke had the worst clinical outcomes.
