Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for normal sinus rhythm at the time of discharge or before hospital death
| Unadjusted | Adjusted for baseline characteristics* | Adjusted for baseline characteristics and pre-AF complications† | |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Adjusted for grouping of atrial fibrillation (AF) including paroxysmal AF, chronic AF, and no previous AF; baseline pulse rate; baseline systolic blood pressure; age; hypercholesterolaemia; and Killip class. | |||
| †In addition to the above demographics, adjusted for significant pre-AF complications including recurrent ischaemia, reinfarction, and acute ventricular septal defect. | |||
| ‡Includes procainamide, quinidine, disopyramide, encainide, flecainide, and propafenone. | |||
