Why the study?
Does a diagnostic model based on left atrial diameter improve prediction of postoperative atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting compared to the original risk prediction system?
Does a diagnostic model based on left atrial diameter improve prediction of postoperative atrial fibrillation after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting compared to the original risk prediction system?
A novel diagnostic model incorporating left atrial diameter improves the prediction of postoperative atrial fibrillation following off-pump CABG compared to existing risk systems.
May improve POAF prediction after OPCABG; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
In this study, a prediction model for patients with POAF after OPCABG was assessed, which was shown to make more accurate predictions compared with the original risk prediction system. It may assist doctors to optimize management of patients with POAF.
