Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4140180-A4140180, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can worsen atrial fibrillation(AF) prognosis. Benzodiazepines(BZD) are commonly prescribed for insomnia, which often accompanies sleep apnea. However, BZDs have been associated with worsening of sleep apnea due to respiratory depression, pharyngeal muscle relaxation, and increase of arousal threshold, which all may lead to prolonged hypoxia. There is little research on the effect of BZD use in AF patients with sleep apnea. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the effects of BZD usage on outcomes in the AF population with sleep apnea.Methods:Data from patients with AF and sleep apnea seen at Tulane Medical Center between 2010 and 2019 was obtained from Research Action for Health Network(REACHnet), a Clinical Research Network in PCORnet®. Patients with AF and sleep apnea were divided between those with a prescription of BZD and those without BZD. These two groups were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method for time-to outcome for all-cause mortality, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction(MI), and hospitalizations in the five years following their AF diagnosis. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate proportional hazards and control for demographics, comorbidities, and medication use.Results:There were 524 total patients included with AF and sleep apnea. Of these, 413(78.8%) were not prescribed BZDs, while 111(21.1%) were taking BZDs. Use of BZDs was associated with worse outcomes. In the no BZD and the BZD group over the 5 years following AF diagnosis, the rate of mortality was 6.1% and 12.6%(p
