Table 3 Reasons, incidence rates, duration, and number of hospitalisations stratified by presence of atrial fibrillation

From: Atrial fibrillation and anticoagulation are associated with hospitalisations in patients with end-stage kidney disease on haemodialysis: a prospective population-based cohort study

Reason for hospitalisation stratified by presence of AF (AF n = 238, non-AF n = 387)

Incidence of hospitalisation per 100 patient years for this reason

Median (25th to 75th percentile) days per hospitalisation for this reason

Sum of hospitalisations for this reason

Percentage of all hospitalisations
