Comorbidity patterns and the risk of injurious falls in older people with atrial fibrillation: Findings from a Swedish nation-wide population-based study.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased fall risk, partly due to AF-related comorbidities. We investigated the impact of different comorbidity patterns on fall risk in older adults with AF. ⋯ Evaluating comorbidity patterns in older AF patients could help stratify the risk of falls in this population and support targeted preventive interventions.
