Incidence and Predictors of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Key result
A modified CHA2DS2-VASc score predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation (incidence 8.2%) better than the original score in kidney transplant recipients (AUC 0.71 vs 0.62).
Why the study?
What is the incidence and what are the predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation in kidney and kidney/liver transplant recipients?

Implication
May aid postoperative AF risk stratification in kidney transplant recipients; extends CHA2DS2-VASc but requires prospective validation.

Population
Kidney or kidney/liver transplant recipients evaluated retrospectively to estimate the incidence and predictors of postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Outcome
Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and identification of relevant risk factorshard clinical
Postoperative atrial fibrillation occurs in 8.2% of kidney transplant recipients and can be predicted by age, prior MI, combined liver/kidney transplant, and a modified CHA2DS2-VASc score.
Cite This Study
Manna et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Kidney and kidney/liver transplant. Risk factors (age, myocardial infarction history, combined liver/kidney transplantation) vs. Patients without these risk factors was evaluated on Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) incidence. A modified CHA2DS2-VASc score predicted postoperative atrial fibrillation (incidence 8.2%) better than the original score in kidney transplant recipients (AUC 0.71 vs 0.62).
