Key result
CHA2DS2-VASc score links to TEE LA/LAA abnormalities in sepsis-induced AF but shows modest predictive value.
Why the study?
Does the CHA2DS2-VASc score predict left atrial/left atrial appendage abnormalities in patients with sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation?
Observational
Does the CHA2DS2-VASc score predict left atrial/left atrial appendage abnormalities in patients with sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation?
The CHA2DS2-VASc score has only modest predictive value for identifying LA/LAA abnormalities on TEE in patients with sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation.
Modest performance precludes routine TEE risk stratification in sepsis AF; hypothesis-generating for sepsis-specific scores.
CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc scores to predict left atrial/left atrial appendage abnormalities in patients with sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation: A preliminary investigation three (4.6 %) patients without LA/LAA abnormalities ( P = 0.2).Consistent with findings in cardiology patients, [ 3 ] the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score is associated with an increased probability of TEE LA/LAA abnormalities in patients with sepsis-induced AF.However, the AUC in our study suggests that the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score demonstrates only modest performance in predicting

Labbé et al. (2025) conducted an observational in Sepsis-induced atrial fibrillation. CHA2DS2-VASc score was evaluated on Left atrial/left atrial appendage abnormalities on TEE. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is associated with an increased probability of TEE LA/LAA abnormalities in patients with sepsis-induced AF, but demonstrates only modest predictive performance.
