Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Study Arm
Patients who present with AF as the primary diagnosis to the ER will have their chart reviewed
Quality improvement
All patients with AF as primary problem treated with study protocol would be compared with historical cohort of AF patients who were treated with routine care in the ER. Patients will be followed up and outcomes will be compared between two groups at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
Historical Cohort
Historical control arm will be selected from chart review of emergency department prior to the commencement of this study after propensity matching with age and sex.
Quality improvement
All patients with AF as primary problem treated with study protocol would be compared with historical cohort of AF patients who were treated with routine care in the ER. Patients will be followed up and outcomes will be compared between two groups at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
