New-Onset Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery - A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

Objective

To explore predictive factors and potential mechanisms of new-onset POAF in isolated off-pump CABG patients.

Methods

Retrospective observational case-control study of 233 patients undergoing isolated off-pump CABG surgery between August 2018 and July 2020 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. Associations between predictor variables and new-onset POAF were identified. The main outcome was new-onset POAF after CABG surgery.

Results

A total of 75 (32.19%) patients developed new-onset POAF after CABG surgery. The new-o
