Little is known about the prevalence and outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF) who receive a kidney transplant. We identified all patients who had >1 year of uninterrupted Medicare A+B coverage before receiving their first kidney transplant (1996–2009). The presence of pre-transplant AF was ascertained from diagnosis codes in Medicare physician claims. We studied the post-transplant outcomes of death, all-cause graft failure, death-censored graft failure, and stroke using multivariable Cox regression. Of 62,706 eligible first kidney transplant recipients studied, 3794 (6.4%) were diagnosed with AF prior to kidney transplant. Over a mean follow-up of 4.9 years, 40.6% of AF patients and 24.9% without AF died. All-cause and death-censored graft failure were 46.8% and 16.5%, respectively, in the AF group and 36.4% and 19.5%, respectively, in those without AF. Ischemic stroke occurred in 2.8% of patients with and 1.6% of patients without AF. In patients with AF, multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for death, graft failure, death-censored graft failure, and ischemic stroke were 1.46 (1.38–1.54), 1.41 (1.34–1.48), 1.26 (1.15–1.37) and 1.36 (1.10–1.68), respectively. Pre-existing AF is associated with poor post-transplant outcomes. Special attention should be paid to AF in pre-transplant evaluation, counseling, and risk stratification of kidney transplant candidates.
