Abstract
Socioeconomic status (SES) may help delineate inequities in atrial fibrillation (AF) among Blacks versus non-blacks. We queried the National Inpatient Sample database from January 2004 to December 2018 to determine trends in AF hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality stratified by Black race and SES. Total admissions for AF in the US has increased by 12% from 1077 to 1202 per 1 million US adults. Among patients hospitalized with AF, the proportion of Black adults is increasing. In those of low SES, both Black and non-black patients have had increases in AF hospitalizations. In those of high SES, Black patients have had a modest increase while non-black patients have had a progressive decrease in rate of hospitalizations. Overall, in-hospital mortality rates improved in Blacks and non-blacks, regardless of SES. Joint associations of SES and race can further qualify disparities in AF care.
