This study examines the clinical features and associations of atrial fibrillation (AF) among hemodialysis patients utilizing the DOPPS database. It highlights the prevalence and incidence of AF across different countries and its relationship with both pre-existing and newly diagnosed cases. The findings also address stroke rates in HD patients with a history of AF and how these rates correlate with the CHADS2 score. This comprehensive analysis aims to enhance understanding and management of AF in the hemodialysis population and underscores the significance of anticoagulation therapy.
