Background:The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods and Results:A total of 50,430 COPD patients were enrolled in this study. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the Cox model c-statistic were used to assess the association between new-onset AF risk and CHA2DS2-VASc score in COPD patients. After adjustment for comorbidities other than the components of CHA2DS2-VASc score, risk of new-onset AF in COPD patients increased from 1.24 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01–1.52) for a score of 1, to 2.15 (95% CI: 1.62–2.86) for score ≥6 (trend test, P<0.001), compared with CHA2DS2-VASc score 0. The AUC for CHA2DS2-VASc score in predicting new-onset AF in COPD patients was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.68–0.70). The c-statistic of Cox model in predicting incident AF was 0.73.Conclusions:Risk of new-onset AF in COPD patients increased with increasing CHA2DS2-VASc score. The predictive ability of the score was moderate. CHA2DS2-VASc score might be used as a screening tool for AF in COPD patients.

Aim: The objective was to compare the rate of atrial fibrillation (AF) onset in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) compared to controls.Methods: Using a large number of samples extracted from nationwide cohort data in Taiwan, the authors used a propensity-matching procedure and multivariable Cox models to assess the risk of AF by CHD.Results: A cohort of 19,439 CHD patients and a propensity-matched cohort of 19,439 control patients were included in this study. The cumulative incidence of AF was significantly higher in the CHD cohort than in the non-CHD cohort (p<0.001). After controlling for confounding factors, the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of AF was 4.23 (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.31–5.41) in the CHD cohort, compared to the non-CHD cohort.Conclusions: A significant association between CHD and AF risk was found.
