BACKGROUND Patients with Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) face elevated cardiovascular risks, but little remains known about arrhythmia outcomes in this context. METHODS Analyzing the 2016-2019 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, we identified cases of Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) with a secondary diagnosis of AI. Mortality was the primary outcome while vasopressors and/or mechanical ventilation use, length of stay (LOS), and total hospitalization charges (THC) constituted secondary outcomes. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were used to adjust for confounders. RESULTS Among patients with Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, and PSVT (N=1,556,769), 0.2% had AI. AI was associated with higher mortality (adjusted OR [aOR] 2.29, p=0.001), vasopressor and/or mechanical ventilation use (aOR 2.54, p<0.001), THC ($62,347 vs. $41,627, p<0.001) and longer LOS (4.4 vs. 3.2 days, p<0.001) compared to no AI. CONCLUSIONS AI was associated with higher adverse outcomes in cases of Atrial Fibrillation, Atrial Flutter, and PSVT.
