Key result
Impaired renal function (HR 3.174; 95% CI 1.432-7.037; p=0.004) and higher serum sodium were significant independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation following isolated CABG.

Impaired renal function and higher serum sodium are significant predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated CABG, which is associated with worse short- and long-term survival.
Tsai et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (n=266). Impaired renal function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) vs. Normal renal function was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) (HR 3.174, 95% CI 1.432-7.037, p=0.004). Impaired renal function (HR 3.174; 95% CI 1.432-7.037; p=0.004) and higher serum sodium were significant independent predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation following isolated CABG.
