Why the study?
Postoperative atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia after CABG, but the perioperative risk factors for new-onset POAF have yet to be clearly defined.
Population
4798 patients across nine studies after isolated CABG
Comparison
Perioperative risk factors for new-onset POAF
Design
Systematic review

Identified perioperative predictors may aid POAF risk stratification after CABG; leaves open prospective validation before changing practice.
Identifying perioperative risk factors such as older age, renal dysfunction, and cardiopulmonary bypass use can help improve monitoring and early detection of new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation after CABG.
