There are important subgroups of patients and clinical outcomes that need to be studied, but are unlikely to be addressed by any one study alone. To facilitate pooled data analysis, the consensus recommends routine reporting of additional subgroup analyses, particularly around modifiable lifestyle risk factors. BMI and OSA should be reported in the baseline characteristics and subgroup analysis, comparing high vs average BMI and those with and without sleep apnea, which should be ideally reported in recognition that modifiable risk factors are an important contributor to AF progression and ablation outcome.
