ABSTRACT

Background: Autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) includes cardiovascular dysregulations which may manifest as an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the impact of PD in AF patients is lacking. Our study aimed to investigate the differences in in-hospital mortality of patients admitted for AF with underlying PD versus those without PD. Methods: We examined the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2019 for hospitalizations of AF as a principal diagnosis with and without PD as a secondary diagnosis. The primary outcome was inpatient mortality. The secondary endpoints were ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), acute heart failure (AHF), cardiogenic shock (CS), cardiac arrest (CA), total hospital charge (THC), and length of stay (LOS). Results: Of 1,861,859 A F hospitalizations, 0.01% (19,490) had coexisting PD. Cohorts of PD vs No-PD had a mean age of 78.1 years [CI 77.9-78.4] vs 70.5 years [CI 70.4-70.5]; male (56.3% vs 50.7%), female (43.7% vs 49.3%). The PD category had similar in-hospital mortality with the no-PD category (ORAdj = 1.18 [0.89-1.57] P = 0.240). The PD group had a lesser incidence of AHF (ORAdj = 0.79 [0.72-0.86] P < 0.001) and VT (ORAdj = 0.77 [0.62-0.95] P = 0.015). Conclusion: Co-existing PD in patients admitted for AF was not associated with increased in-hospital mortality; however, there were lower odds of AHF and VT. The diminished arrhythmogenic neurohormonal axis may explain these cardiovascular benefits. Notwithstanding, to better understand the outcomes of AF in patients with PD, additional studies are required.
