QOL Assessment
Atrial Fibrillation
SECONDARY, ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Assessment of long‐term QOL outcomes was a prespecified secondary objective for the CABANA research program. Two QOL measures were prespecified as coprimary QOL end points, the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) questionnaire and the Mayo AF‐Specific Symptom Inventory (MAFSI). These assessments were performed at baseline and then 3, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months after randomization. The 12‐month assessments were designated as the primary QOL comparisons. Detailed methods related to QOL assessment and the primary QOL intention‐to‐treat comparisons between randomized groups have been reported previously.
