Are haematological indices associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing CABG or valvular surgery?
Routine haematological indices from complete blood counts, such as NLR and RDW, can help predict the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Weymann et al. (2017) studied this question.
