Table 2
The estimated association between job strain and the risk of atrial fibrillation. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
| Work-related stress | HR (95% CI)* | HR (95% CI)* | HR (95% CI)* | Complete follow-up, 253 events | First 10.7 years of follow-up, 165 events | Follow-up after 10.7 years, 88 events |
| No strain | 1 (ref) | 1 (ref) | 1 (ref) | Job strain | 1.38 (0.95–2.00) | 1.11 (0.67–1.83) | 1.93 (1.10–3.36) |
