Changes in glomerular filtration rate and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation

Rates of IS/TE, mortality and bleeding increased with worsening eGFR >4.81 mL/min per 1.73 m2. Worsening eGFR was an independent predictor of IS/TE and of bleeding, and a better predictor of IS/TE than renal impairment in AF.
