The quality of treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation, depending on the index of polymorbidity, preceded hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome

The aim of this work was a retrospective assessment of the quality of treatment, depending on the severity of polymorbidity (PM) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) before admission to acute coronary syndrome (ACS).MATERIALS AND METHODSRetrospectively, 105 patients were included in the analysis (54 men (51,4 %), mean age 65,94±9,34 years) who had AF before hospitalization for ACS. The index of polymorbidity (IPM) was assessed by ME Charlson et al. (1987) in the modification of H. Quan et al. (2005). The M±σ, the Student's coefficient, χ2 were calculated.RESULTSPatients were ranked according to the IPM: the moderate degree of PM was revealed in 40 %, the severe degree of PM - in 60 % of patients. The group with a moderate degree of PM included patients aged 58,91±6,95 years, in the group with a severe degree of PM age was 70,63±7,65 years (p.
