Why the study?
Postoperative atrial fibrillation is a common complication of cardiac surgery, and prognostic nutritional index has been linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but its relationship with POAF development needed evaluation.
Does the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) predict postoperative atrial fibrillation development in patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing CABG?

Objective: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is one of the most common complications of cardiac surgery and frequency varies according to the type of surgery. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI), has been shown to be associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure, stroke, chronic renal failure, coronary artery disease, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PNI and POAF development in patients with a diagnosis of chronic coronary syndrome who underwent coronary angiography and decided to be treated with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation.
