Cardiac variables associated with atrial fibrillation occurrence and mortality in octogenarians implanted with dual chamber permanent pacemakers.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is a dearth of data on the predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) and the association between AF and long-term mortality in octogenarians with dual-chamber permanent pacemakers (PPM). We investigate the occurrence of AF and whether it is associated with overall mortality among octogenarians with dual-chamber PPM implants.
methodsThree hundred and fifty-four patients with PPM implants were divided into two groups based on their long-term survival status. Baseline characteristics, laboratory variables, and echocardiographic variables were then compared between the groups, and independent predictors of the long-term incidence of AF and mortality were determined.
resultsMultivariable Cox regression analysis performed after adjusting for the parameters in univariable analysis revealed that diabetes, urea levels, albumin levels, paced QRS duration, and the frequency of atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs) were independently associated with a long-term risk of AF in octogenarians after having dual chamber PPMs implanted. The left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, left atrial (LA) anteroposterior diameter, and AHRE + AF (HR 1.498, 95%CI 1.003-2.237, p = 0.048) were independent risk factors for the long-term mortality in octogenarians receiving dual-chamber PPMs implants.
conclusionThe occurrence of AF following dual-chamber PPM implantation is a significant prognostic factor in octogenarian patients.
