Key result
The C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio (CAR) was a significant independent predictor of new-onset atrial fibrillation following CABG surgery (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.53-2.16; P<0.001).
Why the study?
The study investigated the predictive value of the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio for new-onset postoperative AF in patients undergoing CABG compared with other inflammatory markers.

CAR may aid postoperative AF risk stratification after CABG; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Does the C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio predict the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?
Odds Ratio: 1.82 (95% CI 1.53–2.16)
p-value: p=<0.001
The novel inflammatory marker CAR is a significant and independent predictor of new-onset atrial fibrillation following CABG surgery.
Aksoy et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) (n=415). C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio (CAR) was evaluated on Development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.53-2.16, p=<0.001). The C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio (CAR) was a significant independent predictor of new-onset atrial fibrillation following CABG surgery (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.53-2.16; P<0.001).
