Prevalencia de fibrilación auricular, factores relacionados y pbkp_redicción de enfermedad cerebro vascular, Hospital Vicente Corral Moscoso, 2008-2009

Abstract:

Objective: To determine the atrial fibrillation prevalence, the associated factors and pbkp_rediction of cerebrovascular disease in patients older than 44 years,admitted in the Internal Medicine Department of the Vicente Corral Moscoso Hospital, during 2008-2009.- Material and methods This study was a crosswise one, in a representative sample of 520 patients. This sample was calculated on the socket of a finite universe (970), confidence level of 95%, acuity of 2% and forfeitures of 20%.- Results: The median of the age was of 65.5 years, with a rank between 45 and 79. The women were represented with 56.2%. The atrial fibrillation prevalencewas 6.3% (CI 95% 4.22-8.38); 7.2% in female (CI 95% 4.24-10.16), and 5.3% in male (CI 95% 2.4-8.2). People between 45 and 65 years had a 10.4% of prevalence (CI 95% 6.87-13.83) and 1.3% in patients older than 64 years (CI95% 0-2.75). The 57.6% of the patients had moderate risk to develop cerebrovascular illness, and 42.4% had a high risk. The association betweenatrial fibrillation with hypertension, cardiac failure and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was significant (RP 5.5, CI 95% 2.8-10.7 and p=0.000; RP 6.4, CI 95% 3.4-12.0 and p=0.000 and RP 3.1, CI 95% 1.6-6.0 and p=0.001 respectively). But, with the diabetes mellitus type 2, the association was not significant (RP 0.5, CI 95% 0.1-1.5 and p=0.166). Conclusion.- The atrial fibrillation prevalence was of 6.3% (CI 95% 4.22-8.38) and it was associated positively with arterial hypertension, cardiac failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
