Key result
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was significantly associated with poor sleep quality compared to patients without atrial fibrillation (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.02-2.17).
Why the study?
Is paroxysmal or persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation associated with poor sleep quality compared to non-AF in outpatients?
Cross-Sectional (n=2,054)
Yes
Is paroxysmal or persistent/permanent atrial fibrillation associated with poor sleep quality compared to non-AF in outpatients?
Odds Ratio: 1.49 (95% CI 1.02–2.17)
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, but not persistent or permanent AF, is associated with poor sleep quality, primarily driven by poor subjective sleep quality and sleep disturbances.

May support sleep assessment in paroxysmal AF outpatients; leaves open causality and need for prospective studies.
Otsuka et al. (2024) conducted a cross-sectional in atrial fibrillation (n=2,054). Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation vs. non-AF was evaluated on poor sleep quality (global PSQI score ≥6 points) (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.02-2.17). Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was significantly associated with poor sleep quality compared to patients without atrial fibrillation (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.02-2.17).
