Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation is Associated with Improved Survival Compared to Appendage Obliteration Alone: An Analysis of 100,000 Medicare Beneficiaries
Societal guidelines support the concomitant surgical ablation (SA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Recent evidence has highlighted the stroke reduction of left atrial appendage obliteration (LAAO) with or without SA in similar populations. To inform clinical decision-making, we evaluated real-world outcomes of patients with AF undergoing cardiac surgery by comparing no AF management vs. LAAO alone vs. SA+LAAO.

Recent evidence has highlighted the stroke reduction of left atrial appendage obliteration with or without surgical ablation in similar populations. To inform clinical decision-making, we evaluated real-world outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing cardiac surgery by comparing no atrial fibrillation management with left atrial appendage obliteration alone versus surgical ablation +  left atrial appendage obliteration.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Medicare Patients Treated in Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities: 2013-2018
CONCLUSIONS: Between 2013 and 2018, the number of Medicare patients treated in IRFs increased overall. There were more patients with stroke and neurological conditions and fewer patients with orthopedic conditions. Changes to IRF and other post-acute care policies, Medicaid expansion, and alternative payment programs may partially be driving these changes.PMID:37133331 | DOI:10.1097/RNJ.0000000000000412
