In-hospital mortality of patients with atrial arrhythmias: insights from the German-wide Helios hospital network of 161 502 patients and 34 025 arrhythmia-related procedures

Abstract

We analysed for the first time in-hospital mortality rates of patients with atrial arrhythmias in a German-wide, multi-centre administrative dataset. This allows feasible, comparable, and up-to-date performance measurement of clinically important endpoints in a real-world setting which may contribute to quality management programs and towards value-based healthcare.
