SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Atrial fibrillation risk on Parkinson's disease - a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The association of Parkinson's Disease (PD) with atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well established and previous studies' results were heterogeneous. This review aimed to evaluate if patients with PD are at increased risk of having AF. MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Web of Science, were searched from inception May 2021. Two reviewers independently selected observational studies with data allowing to estimate the risk of atrial fibrillation in PD patients compared with no-PD controls. Pooled estimates Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were derived through meta-analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 test. The risk of bias of individual studies was evaluated using the ROBINS-I tool. The study protocol was registered at PROSPERO: CRD42020216572. Seven studies were included: five case-control studies and two cohort studies. Three of the studies included were a population-based study. No significant difference was detected between PD and controls regarding atrial fibrillation (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.49). Early PD present a significant higher risk of AF (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.40, I2 98%). The overall risk of bias was serious, with only two studies being considered as having moderate risk. The best evidence available do not support that there is an increased risk of AF in PD patients. Further studies are needed to better conclude if there is a relation between AF and PD.
