New-Onset Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation and Preoperative Sleep in Cardiac Surgical Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in older adults. Poor preoperative sleep quality is a putative modifiable risk factor. The relationships between new-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation and preoperative sleep structure in older adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery were investigated at a single center.

Methods

This was a prespecified substudy within a prospective observational study of perioperative electroencephalographic markers (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT03291626). We analyzed preoperative sleep recordings from 71 cardiac surgical patients aged ≥60 years without a prior history of atrial fibrillation. Overnight recordings were acquired using a consumer-grade headband and underwent manual sleep stagin
