房颤（AF）的患病率数据已注明日期。本回顾性研究使用大型国家数据库估计了美国AF和房扑（AFL）的当前和预计患病率。从Thomson路透社的MarketScan研究数据库中提取2004年7月至2005年12月的索赔数据，用于识别年龄≥ 20岁的非短暂性AF和/或AFL患者以及年龄和性别匹配的无这些疾病的对照组。在数据库中的21，648，681例患者中，242，903例（1.12%）患有非一过性AF和/或AFL（222，605例仅AF，5，376例仅AFL，1.4，922例AF和AFL）。单纯房颤、单纯房扑、房颤合并房扑患者的房颤发生率高于单纯房颤患者（p <0.05）。
The prevalence data for atrial fibrillation (AF) are dated. The present retrospective study estimated the current and projected prevalence of AF and atrial flutter (AFL) in the United States using a large national database. Claims data drawn from July 2004 to December 2005 from the MarketScan research databases from Thomson Reuters were used to identify patients aged >= 20 years with nontransient AF and/or AFL and age- and gender-matched controls without these conditions. Of the 21,648,681 patients in the databases, 242,903 (1.12%) had nontransient AF and/or AFL (222,605 AF only, 5,376 AFL only, and 1.4,922 AF and AFL). Patients with AF only, AFL only, and AF and AFL had a greater (p
