Practice Patterns and Outcomes Associated With Anticoagulation Use Following Sepsis Hospitalizations With New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation

Structured PICO

Does oral anticoagulation use affect stroke/TIA risk in patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation following sepsis hospitalization?

Population

Patients hospitalized with sepsis who developed new-onset atrial fibrillation

Intervention

Oral anticoagulation

Outcome

Stroke/TIA riskhard clinical

Oral anticoagulation use after new-onset AF during sepsis is uncommon and paradoxically associated with a potentially higher risk of stroke or TIA.

Abstract

After hospitalization with new-onset AF during sepsis, oral anticoagulation use was uncommon and associated with potentially higher stroke/TIA risk. Further research to inform mechanisms of stroke and TIA and management of new-onset AF after sepsis is needed.
