What is Outcomes Of Atrial Fibrillation Ablation In Octogenarians about?

Background: Several studies have highlighted the limited in-hospital data on outcomes and benefits of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in older patients. We aim to investigate the in-hospital outcomes of AF ablation in octogenarians (age ≥80 years) compared to patients aged 65-79. Methods: We queried the National Inpatient Sample database using the International Classification of Diseases (9th and 10th Edition) clinical procedural codes to identify all hospitalization records for patients aged ≥ 65 years who were electively hospitalized for the primary procedure of AF ablation from 2012 to 2017. we used nonparametric tests and compared baseline continuous variables with inter-quarter ranges using Wilcoxon rank test. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (composite of death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or cardiogenic shock). Secondary outcomes included stroke, MI, cardiogenic shock, respiratory failure, pacemaker insertion, acute kidney injury (AKI), vascular complications, bleeding, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization cost. Results: A total of 6,100 patients aged ≥ 80 years and 39,950 65-79 years met the study inclusion cr
