Does perioperative inotropic therapy increase the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in black patients undergoing CABG surgery?
p-value: p=0.013
Perioperative inotropic therapy may be disproportionately associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation among black patients undergoing CABG surgery.
Efird et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (n=11,855). Perioperative inotropic therapy (PINOT) was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) (p=0.013). Perioperative inotropic therapy was disproportionately associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation among black patients undergoing CABG surgery (P=0.013).
