Key Points

To assess the effect of subclinical hypothyroidism compared to normal thyroid function on postoperative outcomes, specifically atrial fibrillation and perioperative complications, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Evaluated outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, comparing those with subclinical hypothyroidism to individuals with euthyroidism.
Subclinical hypothyroidism was not associated with an increased incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation compared with euthyroidism.
Subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with an increased risk of several minor perioperative complications.

Implication

Shows no link between subclinical hypothyroidism and atrial fibrillation after coronary bypass, highlighting the need to manage minor perioperative risks.
