Median age of our population was 59 years (IQR 53-65) and 83% were men.
Nearly three-fourth of the population had two or more comorbidities.
14.6% developed NOAF during ICU stay with increased risk amongst older
age and with underlying chronic heart failure and chronic kidney
disease. NOAF developed earlier during the course of severe COVID-19
infection amongst non-survivors than those survived the illness and
strongly associated with increased in-hospital death (OR 5.4; 95% CI
1.7-17; p =0.004).
