From: Cost of illness of atrial fibrillation: a nationwide study of societal impact
Distribution of total* and attributable** average individual costs in year 1-3 after a first-time hospital diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. Data are from the latest available year with up to 3 years of follow-up (i.e., patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in 2010). *Total costs after AF diagnosis (including primary sector, outpatient, hospital admission, medicine, production loss and home care) minus the costs in the preceding year. **Total costs of AF minus the total costs among the controls
